So grateful I found a purpose for my post-career life in the aftermath of the 2016 election. That community involvement in the grassiest of grass roots - my local city neighborhood -- has been a gift to me. I can do little to help the U.S., but I and other like-minded people in my community and my city have risen up in the past 8 years to do a lot of good locally.

Barbara, thank you for all you have done since 2016 and for sharing. May I ask you to be more explicit about the nature of your community and the тАЬlot of good you have doneтАЭ? I ask because every website IтАЩve visited since Nov. 6 has advised this: тАЬget together in community and work at the community levelтАЭ. But it seems so vague! Do what, exactly? I canтАЩt picture any one thing that I could pull off with the like-minded in my small Iowa town that would actually make me say in 8 years тАЬI did a lot of good locallyтАЭ.
Sorry for my lack of imaginationтАФ any advice gratefully received!
Barbara hopefully will comment but I noticed your Iowa small town roots. I have a friend who also lives in a small Iowa town and she sent me this as a resource for you. I hope it helps!
