Election Day: A How-to Poem for America



E

Enjoy the little moments like the last glow of the moon in the morning, the sip of hot cocoa or coffee to start your day, the breath you take, in and out.

L

Laugh with someone, a friend or a stranger on the street, as you smile at a loose puppy running to greet you or a small child jumping in the leaves.

E

Exercise, even just a little, do some stretches, take a walk, take a break from the screen or the dishes or the duties that must be done.

C

Choose compassion. We all need an extra dose.

T

Try to see the good in others

I

Ignore the impulse to judge someone whose life you know little about.

O

Open your ears and listen; sometimes that's the best way to be compassionate.

N

Neglect the news as much as you can so that all the above may be possible on this day. 

D

Dance like no one is watching.

A

Allow hope to guide you.

Y

Yes, we will make it through.
