get involved
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

If you plan and fail to do and then fail to learn and plan better, that's somehow worse.
My only goal following last "Sunday review" last Wedensday was to "appreciate and give thanks for all I have while I still can." I have failed at that goal every moment of the past week.
I fixate on the problems I've worked exceptionally hard to create for myself, to the point of barely registering a narcissistic dictator has just been elected president, as if somehow my specks of difficulty in the sky compare to the hurricane that is Donald Trump, with full control of the US government to do what he wants.
I don't even disagree with A when he says Trump's team are good for the American people, because God forbid Greg states an actual opposing opinion.
Maybe the next four years won't be so bad. It (the hurricane incoming) certainly will miss my demographic and wreak havoc only on millions who weren't born white males whose parents sacrificed everything for citizenship for our family; I guess I can munch on popcorn as hardworking immigrants are deported by the millions and women give birth to every conception they have.
It's easy to talk shit about Trump here, its a bit harder to speak this openly with friends, and its both impossibly hard and trivially easy to get involved in any local government or nonprofit program.
goals for remainder of this week:
support loved ones. check in with someone I care about every day. listen, ask, hear, care, pray.
share my actual opinions when asked, be respectful of differing perspectives.
volunteer one hour for a local nonprofit.
