““It’s a blessing and a curse to go around the country and meet the best Americans out there. You can feel inspired by them, but they can also make you feel lacking. It reminds me that I need to do more, help more, be a better dad, but it also makes me feel more confident that our country is not so polarized and that we’re going to be ok.””
Your Daily Grind...
Here's the 10 things I found on the internet worth sharing today. Ventipop's Daily Grind posts are meant to be fun, serious, thoughtful, musical, informative and hopeful. I post what I discover whether it be a new musician I think deserving of a listen, a new product I've used and like or an article that runs counter to the tide of thought. Peruse and enjoy.
