Post-Retirement Reading

One small step...


I have found myself to be very anxious this week over the stupid, American election.   They voted on Tuesday.   It is late Friday night and still no winner has been declared although, finally, tonight it looks like Biden will take it.   But it has been so close.   So disappointingly close.   I fear our southern neighbors may be in for a rougher couple of months than need be while Trump throws his temper tantrum, stirs the civil unrest and creates unnecessary havoc and bedlam before he is removed from office.     This has created such unnecessary stress and drama on the world stage and the stench of it drifts everywhere and sullies daily life, even though we are indirectly effected.  I had hope, but little faith, that he would be removed and a more rational, mature person take over.   Even though it is not official, it is looking favorable, and I am feeling more hopeful this evening than I have since Tuesday.   I won’t rest assured until it is all official,  but it is refreshing to feel more hopeful about this most uncertain and undetermined future that we face.  Perhaps this is one small, redirecting step to guide us all to a steadier course.
