Let's Just Be Happy Today!

It told me a lot about Donald Trump, and all of it reassuring, that the person he chose to have on the stage with him last night was Dana White.

“Nobody deserves this more than he does. Nobody deserves this more than his family does. This is what happens when the machine comes after you. What you’ve seen over the last several years, this is what it looks like. Couldn’t stop him. He keeps going forward. He doesn’t quit. He’s the most resilient, hard-working man I’ve ever met in my life.” ~ Dana White

One-time or recurring donations can also be made at Ko-Fi.

So many angry messages awaited me this morning, I was a bit surprised, actually. It was hilarious, but also a little sad to read all the woke comments, people just falling apart, terrified that they are now living in a totalitarian state under a fascist dictator. A lot of the fear was pretty extreme.

And then my spirits were raised by the MAGA humor:

I didn’t want to get sucked into social media, so I took off for the gym, where I spent three hours. And guess what, life carried on as usual. Okay, people were a little subdued in the spin class, but the instructor, who I absolutely love (a Trump supporter), played all the right 80s music about everyone getting along and by the end of the class, people were feeling better, which is what working out is supposed to do.

I had contemplated taking a hike and using the time for prayer and reflection, but it’s terribly windy today. In fact, while I was in the gym, the electricity went out all across the city. But weights don’t need electricity, and it was a nice change having blank TV screens and no annoying music. I don’t wear those ear pods in my ears, I like to be connected to my surroundings.

I couldn’t get a coffee afterwards, couldn’t sit outside at my favorite little cafe and do some work. I couldn’t even get a bottle of water. No one would take cash. They couldn’t do the calculations.

Consider that for a second. When the grid crashes, if you think your greenbacks will be worth something, they won’t.

The world shuts down without electricity. It made me think of the insanity of wanting all cars, and everything else, to be electric. I doubt Trump will go for that, thank goodness.

Tomorrow, I will do some boxing with a friend. It’s a regular thing that I do, a time when I let everything go, cleanse my mind, renew my spirit. I bring it up because it’s good for our mental and physical health to exercise and because of Dana White’s emotional speech:

And now, I am going to enjoy the rest of this beautiful, very, very windy, day! I am spending a lot of time praying for Trump today—he’s going to need all of our prayers.
