Went to the gym for my Yoga class this morning. It usually feels like a 'safe' place but today there were a lot of testy, cranky, stressed people. I bit my tongue - because I understand.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
