A Bitter Pill: I'm struggling to find words this morning, my friends. So I will defer to the wisdom and eloquence of Abraham Lincoln:
First: "Adhere to your purpose and you will soon feel as well as you ever did. On the contrary, if you falter, and give up, you will lose the power of keeping any resolution, and will regret it all your life."
Second, one of my all-time favorite Lincoln quotes: "Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm."
For now, find community and comfort in your loved ones, your friends, your neighbors. Support one another.
Because the struggle for American democracy WILL continue.
