I don't have any words of wisdom. I did find some here though.

While the tendency might be to crawl into our beds and pull the blankets over our heads, I think that is a mistake. We need to remember that there are a great many people out there who feel just as we do. We need to find our tribe. We need to encourage each other.
In the end, I think that we will discover that we are the lucky ones. We see it coming and everyone I know is trying to plan ahead. Some don't see it coming. They won't see it until it is upon them.
My plan for navigating the future is that I'm going to be very aware of what is unfolding. I will try my hardest to respond to things in a clear headed way, leaving emotion out of it as much as possible. Being mad isn't going to help us. Being afraid won't help either.
From the movie 'Second Hand Lions':
We'll be okay, people. We need to believe that, whether it is true or not, because it is the only thing worth believing in.
Today is Martin Luther King day....he is the one we should be hearing and remembering and celebrating...and acting upon his advice
