13. Don't let it get you down.

Don’t let it get you down. They have always been here. Long before Trump. You can’t change that. But you can recognize there are many many good people around you.

Case in point I was at a large outdoor bar and restaurant last night. There were a few dudes wearing Trump garb. One of the people on our party commenting on how many douchebags were there. It started to bring the mood down. I exclaimed, “Look we are having a good time and we are pissing it away because of 3 people”

There is a lot more to be happy about than not. Focus on the good. Focusing on the bad rarely helps anything.
