The antidote for the ongoing political headache? Putting the phone down, turning the TV off, and spending some quality time with family. Back (what seems like 3 years ago) on November 3rd, I told my partner, “no matter what happens, we will be together, and that’s what’s most important.” We can survive this political turbulence by recognizing we are all grateful for the same things: whatever health wealth and happiness we experience in our lives. Policy matters; it affects lives. But if we start with what matters most, we can approach policy and politics in a much more grounded, more powerful way.
