No, that's not what I meant at all. I'm never one to ignore elephants in the room and address them if I feel it is necessary. What I am tired of are the people who seem to be stuck in the negative. They have an inability to see the positive and, therefore, can't participate in making positive things happen. I find it a worthless exercise and one that is a waste of energy at a time when all of the positive movement forward and optimism is greatly needed.

I don't expect our new President to be anywhere NEAR perfect, but I will continue to try and keep myself positive and share my positive energy with others rather than keep things in a stagnant place with my negativity. It's a personal choice and one I cannot make for others, but I also can choose NOT to participate in the negativity or tolerate the distraction of others who are negative.
