As I have told my children forever, life is a path with many forks in the path. Whether you go down one path or the next determines so much. Sure, you can try and plan for that fork in the road, but it is impossible to know what's down it until you're already pretty far along. You're going to go down some wrong paths. Hopefully you chose the next one with a little more luck.
Like Buster, I too really lucked out on at least three paths I can think of that made all the difference in my life. I had the chance for the 2nd home back in 2012, but I outsmarted myself by going down the wrong path at the time. Life goes on.
Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.
