A Long Week

Hey Readers,

 

One thing that was for certain prior to this election was that once it was decided, about half the country would be elated, and half would be deeply disappointed. That was inevitable and my heart goes out to all. So, without getting into partisan politics, I have a few thoughts as we conclude this monumental week—

 

1. Being in Philly, it is obvious that many more people are disappointed than not. That is a simple fact of living in the big city (any big city, for that matter). No matter what happened in national politics this week, I am confident that Philadelphia and Philadelphians will continue to thrive. Philly is an amazing city regardless of national politics.


2. I am an optimist, and I wish the best for America’s and the world’s population. Wishing peace, prosperity, and love to all. There is truly no time for hate.


 

Warm regards to all.


 

Jeff
