Remember the beauty

Not to numb the pain, but to face it.

If you've been anywhere near a news source you know that millions are about to see their health insurance premiums go up beyond what they are capable of paying. And you know that ICE's budget has been scarily increased at the expense of many other agencies. There is no joy here. No silver lining. Just dread at the evil gathering.

It's now that you remember the beauty, the serendipity, the moments of noticing joy. Not to numb the pain, but to face it. To give you strength to keep putting goodness in the world, because you've learned to see goodness daily. To have a habit of seeing joy, so as you walk into whatever is coming, you can still find possibility and not let despair paralyze you.

We have a long road ahead. We will need each other. #JoyAsResistance
