First, this will not be partisan in nature; I have too many friends on all ends of the spectrum, and I never want this blog to be any sort of forum for ill-will.

History was made; it would have been either way. If your side won, congratulations. It’s going to be a tough row to hoe in January to bring this country back together. I don’t think it’s impossible. We’ve always been able to surprise ourselves with our ability to come together (remember 9/11, anyone?). Change isn’t always a bad thing…sometimes it’s a clean slate and a chance to try again.

If you woke up disappointed this morning, remember that everything is cyclical. Just as the seasons change, so also does the political atmosphere of this country. The pendulum swings, and we come full circle again. It’s actually one of the things that keeps our country alive and thriving. Your time will come again.

That’s all I have to say. I’m thrilled that I won’t have to listen to any nasty political commercials on television anymore. In my world, we will keep on truckin’…we will keep reading, learning, knitting, loving, trying to manage our money wisely, working, helping those who need it (be they human or animal), and sharing Jesus by caring, not by judging. That’s what life is about, and it should stay that way regardless of political leanings.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day today and is respectful to those around who differ in opinion. There’s no reason for us to fight; we’ve got to work together.

Peace and Love to all.
