Hope

Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.

When I went to vote in the last election, I saw a mom and her two little kids coming out of the polling location. They stopped and took a selfie before they got in their car. They were smiling and clearly happy that the mom and done her civic duty and the kids got to go along and witness citizenship in action.

At a time when things were feeling pretty bleak, this made me really happy. 

I bet it's because those kids got away with voting underage.
