(85,182 posts)You came to the right place anyway, but especially on a day (and evening) like this.
We're up here in the PNW too, and are almost literally drunk with delight at all the tall trees! Can you get out for a little walk through some leafy green areas or local parks? It'll feed your spirit and distract you from your troubles because it's just so damn beautiful! That tends to work for me. I can't believe the views up here - can't see the river or the volcano peaks, but who cares, for all those trees? Find some natural splendor to ease your worried mind and sinking heart.
I hope you'll keep this thread, too. It's bound to help lift your spirits even if only a wee bit. But every wee bit starts to add up, after awhile. We've got a good guy in the White House and the Senate is ours, and a Democrat in the governor's job. and chances are good that the Supreme Court will have thoughtfully kept enough of us pissed off that we will vote and make sure our friends are at least reminded about it.
I've never heard so many people in news stories and in man-on-the-street interviews lately - urging people to vote! And that's all we have to do: VOTE! Just remember, there are more of us, anyway, than the other guys have, so we have a built-in advantage already.
On a personal note - I'm SO glad there is DU. With everybody here. It's a feel-good tonic of a site, and as our own beloved Skittles once observed - "someone's always here." I can't tell you how often the mere thought of that has buoyed me up and kept me going. It's worth keeping in mind whenever you need your spirits lifted.
And somebody really is always here!
