After the end of 2019, which was disastrous for us personally, from the standpoint of serious and multiple health issues, we thought, as we always try to do, that 'next year will be better'! But that was because we were thinking only of our on personal issues.
Actually, since the day after the presidential election in 2016, we had held to ourselves the concerns and fears of damage that a totally incapable president might do, but we also held tightly the thoughts that there are checks and balances written into the US Constitution that would protect us as a country. Wow, were we mistaken!
Now at the end of 2020, we find ourselves still dealing with personal health issues, living extremely quiet lives to avoid exposure wo a world-wide pandemic, and every day seeing the current president break a Constitutional rule. Disregarding every sort of effort to help our country (except for an ignorant proposal laced with selfish interests). Apparently even more ignorant, if that is possible, of how real life in our country works than when he won office.
Yes, we have to believe that things can begin to get better. Yes, there will hopefully be accountability for the massive wrongs done to our country. But the death toll is so unimaginable and so real, the damage to our economy is so heartbreaking, and the failure of one of the two major political parties to support their country rather than support whatever description one could apply to the president's current pattern of behavior: this is stress beyond measure. Sorrow beyond measure. Disgust beyond measure.
Let us hope we can still find hope.
