July ended up being overwhelming and overstimulating for me for a number of reasons. By the end of the month, my mental health was struggling. So I was really grateful when, at the start of August, I saw a post by Chasten Buttigieg about him and Pete canvassing for Harris, and he chose to use "High Hopes" as the music that went along with the post. Pete's song really feels like a good anthem for August for me.
I’m starting August with High Hopes*
Thank you Chasten for using it in a post
Being reminded of the joy of My Pete’s song**
Feels like an amazing way to start a new month
May High Hopes help bring shifting
May High Hopes help bring energizing
May High Hopes help bring “Gentle, Gentle”**
May High Hopes help bring centeredness
May High Hopes help bring rootedness
High Hopes is the joyful noise that I need to hear
To Reboot my mental health, Reboot my physical body,
Reboot my hope and dreams and desires and vision too
Reboot, Renew, Refresh every single bit of my tired being
High Hopes is the joyful noise that I need to hear
May High Hopes help bring shifting
May High Hopes help bring energizing
May High Hopes help bring “Gentle, Gentle”
May High Hopes help bring centeredness
May High Hopes help bring rootedness
I’m starting August with High Hopes*
Thank you Chasten for using it in a post
Being reminded of the joy of My Pete’s song**
Feels like an amazing way to start a new month

Pete’s “Rules of the Road”
By Dreaming Ace
Was recently reminded
Of Pete’s “Rules of the Road”
The rules that we used to
Guide us, Guide our actions
Guide us through politics
Guide us through life itself
Guide us to be our best selves
Pete’s “Rules of the Road”
Respect,
Belonging,
Truth,
Teamwork,
Boldness,
Responsibility,
Substance,
Discipline,
Excellence,
And Joy
A ton may have changed
Since 2020 but still I think
These rules of the road
Are a great place to start
I am going to try to determine
How I can focus on these rules
Over the course of this August
To Reboot, Renew, Refresh
