There's Still Hope ...

I am still on a high from the joy, the intelligence, the decency, the love, the compassion, the friendships, the sheer beauty of the opening of the Obama Center.

It reminds me of how we used to be when we didn't have a president spout hate-filled rhetoric, or sell America to the highest bidder to line his own pockets, to start wars to deflect from his involvement in the Epstein scandal.

I want to go back to that other America when we could be proud of our leaders, perfect and imperfect.; where our leaders worked toward equality for all, not just their rich friends who bought votes.

I want to go back to leaders who spoke to all of us, no matter our skin color or gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, religion, non-religion; we were all part of the conversation.

I will hold onto this feeling until November when I cast my vote for change here in South Carolina and I will keep it close in 2028 when I vote for a new President and new Congress and new Senate.

Hope.
