Tomorrow is presidential Inauguration day in the United States. I wish that I could say that I feel better than I did the day after the November election, but I don't. Some friends are taking part in the Women's (and some men) March in Chicago to coordinate with the March on Saturday in Washington, D.C. They are not marching as a protest but rather in solidarity with values that we hold dear. I had other commitments on Saturday, but what could I do as a positive action?I came up with a plan. I purchased five $5 gift cards from a food store chain, tucked it into an envelope with a peace dove (the best of my hand-made bunch), prayer card tucked into wing, and a Smile Card. They will be placed on unsuspecting car windshields as I go about my chores on Friday and Saturday. (hopefully, the rain that is hitting my windows now will be over by tomorrow).

What you are doing is a step in that direction and I am so heartened to read this. May more of us do likewise, in our own way. Bless and rooting for all marchers tomorrow--whether in an organised march or marching to the beat of their own drum!

Actually felt worse on Friday than I imagined I would. Many of us lost a bit of hope back in November and we really have to work to get it back! And doing acts of kindness is the best work. But what made a huge difference for me was watching all the matches and rallies today. It really boosted my spirits.
