It was refreshing to hear one radio personality compliment another radio personality for his optimism today.
"When you get to be (our ages), it's easy to be cynical," the person giving the compliment said.
Indeed, it is. Given the fractured, disturbing political climate of the moment, one can't help but be cynical.
However, watching footage of recent protests reminds me that compassionate, like-minded souls exist all over the world. I have to maintain at least a sliver of optimism when I remember that.
