After Trump spewing such hate, it is refreshing to read something sweet and

uplifting.

Dan Rather:

Some days one wakes up and feels blessed. And today is one of those days. I'm in New York City where I have returned for a brief stopover, before resuming my book tour for WHAT UNITES US (on to the booming cities of Atlanta and Denver).
It has been such a pleasure criss-crossing this great country once again and meeting so many of you. I know I can't go everywhere and meet everyone, but I am thankful for this perch of social media where I feel I can connect much more.

His eloquent Facebook postings over the past year are a refreshing change and an example of what social media should be.

Not pandering, not suck ups, not me tooism, just plain old simple American values and caring.
