Which stage are you at for America? I think I went straight to acceptance. 🖖 - ThreadSky

There needs to be a circle after testing - finding a path.

I live in France and am in the Shock stage…especially remembering the faces of French journalists when they discussed Trump and his cabinet nominations. They actually laughed. The once respected United States of America turned into a freak show.

I began learning about the grieving process many moons ago. I, too, am at the stage of acceptance, in that I reject the unacceptable, while accepting that which I cannot change, change what I can and hope for wisdom to know the difference.
