"Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties." -- Helen Keller
We can't escape the fact we have a volatile and inept "man" at the helm of our federal government. Thus we have a government in near constant turmoil. But, for me this year, regardless of the Mueller investigation or its results, will be one of concentrated efforts to shut out the noise and the insanity of the tRump era and focus on truly important things. tRump is destined to become a rather inconsequential and miniscule orange turd anyway in the very near future.
Turning away from the 24/7 shit storm that has been the tRump presidency is my 2019 resolution. For focusing on Trump too much destroys any sense of peace and joy.

When fascism came to America it came clutching a bible and waving the flag. On January 20, 2025. When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once. Milarepa “Just as it is k na nown t hat an image of one's face is seen d epending on a mirror b ut does not really exist as a face, s o the conception of "I" exist d ependent on mind and body, b ut like the image of a face t he "I" does not at all exist as its own reality."

ReplyDeleteYou as well Dave!!
