Time to move forward!

It's the day after the most distasteful election cycle in modern history. The sad part is that all of the vile and contemptuous rhetoric that has poisoned social media,print media and broadcast media for the  last 18 months not only continues,but has actually become worse. Those who hate are hating even more. Those who feel victorious are being uglier than ever. Grace and humility are no where to be found. Personally, I find it painfully deplorable.
I am by no means a kumbayah kind of guy.
I don't participate in things like hands across America or in any other feel good social movements per se.
Not 100% true.
When Israel was under siege a few years back, I not only participated in, I spearheaded an " I Stand with Israel" campaign.That to me was not a "feel good" thing. It was a show of support .
(BTW- That banner is still prominently on display in my home).
When "Make America Great Again" becomes a way of life and not just a slogan or a battle cry,I will do all I can to do my part and more. Until then,it is nothing more than hollow words and I have no idea of what it is I can do to help the cause.
I know that gloating over a victory does nothing to make me feel greatness.
I know that decrying the sky that is obviously falling serves no purpose either.
I know that hate and contempt will breed nothing more than more of the same.
I am saddened by all I am seeing and hearing today.
I can only hope that this is just the result of the morning after syndrome and that tomorrow will be a better day.
A new beginning.
The start of a time when graciousness will eventually bring about greatness.
Until then, I must find something to grasp on to to lift my spirits and carry me past all this nonsense that is causing me such sadness.
