It's safe to say one of the biggest changes in my life, since January 20, 2021, has been this:

[Siwsan]

I used to wake up EVERY morning wondering what fresh, hell caused by the seditious other guy, would I'd learn about when I turned on the morning news.

Now I wake up without even a vague worry about what President Biden and Vice President Harris are up to, because I know they have the best interest of the nations as a priority.

And I fully admit that I live in anticipation of seeing which and how many political and very public comeuppances, being experienced by members of the GQP, will be featured stories.

OK, now I have to go back to channeling Mother Nature to see if I can get some rain showers going here.

1. I appreciate weekends free of tweet storms.

[Siwsan]

2. Not hearing reports on an INSANE BLIZZARDS of rabid tweets is going to be added to my list.

I've also noticed a vast decline in having to deal with anxiety attacks. Not that I don't still have them, and some of them are still 'other guy' related, but I know if I'm patient, POTUS and/or VPOTUS will say something that snap me back into the new now.

[StarfishSaver]

3. This

And another one - when I hear a CDC recommendation at 10 am, I know it's not going to be thrown out the window with an insane pullback at 4:00 that day, leaving everyone in confusion and turmoil for days on end thereafter.

[DemUnleashed]

4. Yes

You literally took the words out of my mouth...totally feel the exact same way!

[Botany]

5. Biden, the K-Bomb, Jen Psaki, and so on are giving a master class on getting things done and ....

.... being good people too. Hire really smart and accomplished people who might disagree with you
and tell you why, let them do their jobs, always give credit to others, and get the job done.

BTW Joe and the K-Bomb are building a Juggernaut of a really strong, diverse, national, majority party,
and the old guard Republicans know that and their are crapping their tighty whities too.



This is what a leader looks like.

[Siwsan]

6. I didn't think it possible for POTUS and VPOTUS to exceed my expectations, but they certainly have.

Yesterday's Medal of Honor ceremony was almost like a audio/visual tonic. Joe so graciously and respectfully helping to steady Colonel Puckett almost brought tears to my eyes. I can't even BEGIN to imagine how the other guy would have reacted. We do know how he reacted when that older man fell and hit his head at Mara Largo so I can't imagine this would have be handled any differently.

[hibbing]

7. Same boat

I would get on my bus to work and look at DU too see what idiotic, racist, dangerous, petty things he was saying and doing.

President Biden's Twitter feed is all positive, wishing well wishes for all of our diverse holiday, people, and traditions.

Peace

8. In addition to everything you said (we are in exceptional drought here), I no longer look at my

morning coffee, wondering if I should just beat the rush of bad news and pour brandy in it.

[Joinfortmill]

9. Me too.

[madamesilverspurs]

10. It's actually a relief

each morning to turn on the news and get a commercial instead of a screaming header of breaking news. What a difference a valid election makes!

11. You can

have my rain showers. It’s rained here 10 days in a row and no I don’t live in the northwest. I’m in Missouri or as some call it misery.

[Siwsan]

12. Apparently we even had a low level snow season, too. Didn't seem like it though

The weird thing is, for as strange as this Spring weather has been, my flowers have been spectacular.

Tomorrow looks like our best chance for rain and, of course, tomorrow is when we planned to do repair work and construct and install new gates on the vegetable garden fence. I saw a MASSIVE groundhog slip through a breech in the fencing. That was the first one I've seen in about 3 years. Fortunately, although it looked for another escape hatch, it ended up exiting via the same breech. None the less, I'll be doing a major fence line check.

[Hekate]

13. Toward the end I got up every day asking, "Is he dead yet?" It was that bad. When Joe finally...

...was certified as the president-elect, I stood by the kitchen tv and hyperventilated before breaking into sobs.

I feel like my blood pressure has gone down. I wake up anticipating normalcy instead of utter disaster.

I feel so much better these days I was actually surprised at how triggered I got when someone did a quick montage of Trump’s nasty facial expressions and favorite nasty comments.

[niyad]

14. In addition to all the other changes, I no longer dread the Friday night "news dump".
