It was actually good advice........................

I was given what I assume was bad-faith guidance, “Go and discover the new America."

(Spoiler alert)

I am more optimistic now than I was reading the news from afar – America is as it always was; righting wrongs, fighting for those who can’t fight for themselves, solving problems big and small that crop up in our daily lives through hard work and self-determination. I’m more optimistic than I have been in a while . . .
