Remember the important stuff that lasts.


 It's a hard and sometimes scary time we're in-for the world, but especially for this country. And I love my country very much.
But something concerns me. A lot.
We can get very caught up in disagreeing with each other and pushing our thoughts and beliefs about politics and the people running for president, that we ignore friendship, family love perhaps, or just plain good manners.

It's easy to get 'hot' over what was said by the candidates. 
Of course this stuff matters.
But it does not matter more than
friendship
love
good behavior
kindness
...

Don't let emotion control your behavior.
Or your speech.
