Reflections on today. Both a funeral and christening at the same time. With hope and fear we look towards the future of America. May we all pull together as one country. May we thrive in the next 4 years.

Let’s face it. Trump’s tariffs are a form of taxation on the American consumer. Possibly an underhanded way to bring down the federal deficit without taxing the wealthy more. Any other way of looking at the situation is smoke and mirrors.

Wealth is an illusion.

Trump quoted in the future- “ It’s just a small nuclear war.”

It’s important to take care of those you love. As a psychotherapist I do also take care of people that reach out to me with mental turmoil. Everyone needs support. Remember to ask for it.

Can you think about dying with a sense of excitement. Possibly it’s great or possibly is nothingness. Anyway, it might be good to know it is exciting.

Keep the family involved.

A key alone is unimportant. A lock alone is useless. Though a lock and key together could prove very useful.

Finding the key to life is not a problem. What’s difficult is finding what the lock is.

A two legged stool never stands.
