Conjecture!

The news is overloaded with conjecture.  It seems that everyone with an opinion and a platform is guessing, fantasizing, predicting about the future in the coming Trump world.

Its all a waste of time.  Better to take some action that might make a difference rather than bemoan how bad it will be.  As I've said, the worst is yet to come, so there is no point in crying about what is on the horizon that we don't like and cannot change. 

I find my primary emotion is resignation.  Today's world is fundamentally different that it has been for most of my life.  Wishing for the return of a past that is gone forever won't help.  We've had a good run and I'm grateful for it. 

I have no positive expectations about the future.  My mood may be a defensive mechanism that shields me from being disappointed.  If I don't expect it will get better I won't be disappointed when it doesn't.

Will I live long enough to see the process unfold?  Don't know.  Hope so but don't know.  In the meantime, onward!
