Jacob 11/8/23

 Morning brought little comfort to Jacob as he walked to the store, pulling his scarf up around his neck. He felt the 35° and wasn’t ready for winter but he really wasn’t ready for the outcome of today either. He feared the worse outcome in the election.

Sure he had his regular customers, but they had their problems and a tab with him to keep their families afloat. Something has to change… Just then dark clouds moved overhead and settled. Jacob peered at the sky and the clouds continued to thicken, the darkest gray he’d ever seen. The sun was completely gone and a gloominess lingered over the town. What next he thought…… #AnytownAmerica #Vote  LmS 11/4/22 The morning and rest brought a new resilience to Jacob as he looked out his window. The sky held promise of change and so he’d pull himself up and start his day. He’d go forward with hope in his actions and try to only have happiness in his work today.
