Where do we go from here?

Have been hanging out with a lot of good people lately. A friend who makes bee hives, a friend who runs a greenhouse and teaches kids about plants, and a Doctor who has been in Haiti awhile trying to figure out how to address big public health concerns in kids. What does it take to make all this good work in all the right places? Good will which I feel like in America we are running short on. People can't do the most simple things because we are so polarized. Often times the right thing appears so easy, no partisan, and good for everybody. Why does everyone need to get something special and why am I not happy until I get all I can.
For one of the few times in my life I am starting to feel able to affect positive change. And that enough of us are in this together that things may not end up perfect but better for sure.
