flag found

(small flag found on the ground in an alley in a "less than desirable" part of reno)


i will admit it - i'm still bathing in the afterglow that is the election celebration. it's hype, but it's hope. i've traded in my cynicism for optimism. it may be fleeting, it may not last but a few days, weeks or months, but it's here now and i'm giving it a hug.

don't people write books on The Power of Positive Thinking? what's wrong with moving into the new term with the idea that things can be better, that we can improve ourselves and possibly our country?

i realize that idealism will not fix all that is broken. but i do not want to downplay the power of those ideas. i know there will be moments in the future when i will be disappointed and frustrated and angry, but i do think that if we collectively "poo poo" this upward momentum, we will be hindering our potential.

we can be good people. yes we can.

wahooey!
