Reply #7: My concern for the future of my country and my planet cannot be confused with an unhappy mindset.

I will do what I can, when I can. I'll do my best to make a difference somewhere, if not for myself, then for someone else.

But I absolutely refuse to let current events to rob me of my spirit, my outlook, my enthusiasm, or my optimism.

I laugh my ass off every day. I greet those who cross my path with kindness and light. I even tell a good joke now and then.

I refuse to be unhappy. It's no fun.

As another poster on this thread made note of, some folks look back at the times they struggled as their happiest. I think it's because they triumphed and succeeded.

We will survive. Mark my words.
