Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Spent the morning shoveling snow with my kid. We talked about how--because the world is increasingly stupid, unkind, and selfish--we need to work hard at being curious, kind, and helpful to others. Even if we're just starting with shoveling the walk for our community.

The “peekaboo” dog training game is pure joy. I wasn’t even going to try with Beau, given his height and body shape, but gosh I’m so glad we tried because it’s pure joy and smiles and laughter, and when we are facing trigger after trigger outdoors and indoors this is a beautiful fun stress reliever.

After a long walk, Beau decided to take a nap in the snow, proving his “anxious dog” tag to be misleading. 😅
