I woke today to find myself in the minority opinion in this country. It’s not a small minority but it fell short of the goal and therefore is subject to the results.

But my approach this time has to be different. I remember the frustration the former term gave me and I’m not going to repeat that. Life is too short to be unhappy.

So I’m going into survival mode. I’m not even sure what that means yet but it’s going to start with a lot less TV. I’ll read my news and keep that limited to a few trusted sources.

The last time it split family and friends and I’m expecting more of that. I also expect poor behavior and discourse to increase so I’m preparing for that also.

Financially this changes a lot of things. I’m not the believer he’s the economic guru he pretends to be. And if he is, I’m not in the class that is going to benefit from it.

I’ll do my best to further restrain sharing any political opinions here in the future. Not like I spent a lot of time on it anyway. I’ll just stay in my lane. But I am worried for my children and grandchildren.
