Turn off all news, and either read a book or watch old reruns where the good guys always win.

You can always go back to reality tomorrow.

Family came to celebrate, stayed in a tent in my yard, stayed more than 6 feet away, wore masks and we ate at separate tables. What a strange way to have to be with family. And all the while you are afraid of what is next because of the soulless imbecile now occupying the White House.

Make the most of your day to spite him. And stay healthy to celebrate many, many more.

It's a terrible thought to have to carry around, isn't it? I hope that at least this day will transcend it.

Whatever he does or says or tweets today will not have an immediate impact on you if you ignore and focus on things which make life so very much worth living.

You haven't been able to say that for a long time, and now you can.

But anyway, may this be your favorite year yet.

Try to look for some good today. A lot of people have just given in to despair. It's not good for you mentally or physically.
