Wednesdays

So there I was, driving to work, and it occurs to me that it's the day after the election, and I will still be hit with all of the political bullshit surrounding the presidential election... UGH!!!  I am so sick of hearing this shit all the time.  If I vote for one, then I am stupid, if I vote for the other, then I'm a real American... Really?  What is that shit about?  I am so lucky to live in a county that has the freedom to choose who is going to lead us, that I can say what I want about either side, that I can practice any faith or religion that I wish to.  Why has this campaign split so many people though?  I have heard so many reasons, it's just ridiculous. 

I don't think that we are going to collapse as an economy or a country simply because our President is Muslim.  That is his RIGHT as an AMERICAN CITIZEN to worship any one, thing, or God that he wishes to.  And really, if the God-fearing Christians would ever learn to do some research on Islam, it's very peaceful, it worships one God, the Virgin Mary, and follows the Old Testament... wow... so do the Catholics, though, I wouldn't really say that Catholics are a peaceful group of people.  Who started the Inquisition again?  To rid the world of Jews... sound familiar... anyone... and witches... so really Jews and women... sounds peaceful.  and in the name of the Church, it was OK to kill a Muslim, no wonder they aren't really drinking buddies with the rest of the Christian people of the world... Usually when one group of people try to eradicate another group, we call that genocide, and it's not really looked very favorable upon.  Hilter did not leave a happy spot on the world, but there were more before him that are completely overlooked. 

Sorry, off on a tangent there... And then, I kept driving, behind the slowest moving vehicle this morning, and then I was glad that the election part of everything was over.  I keep thinking that I'm going to put something up on facebook that says I will give you a week or so to continue to bitch about the election not turning out the way that you want it to. But, in years before, the person that I voted for did not win, and I still got behind our President, because that is what we need to do.  That's not the case here, I voted for Obama.  It was a super close race, and now it's over.  I was sad when John McCain lost, but, because the people spoke and the majority that can and did vote, put someone that I didn't agree with in the White House, I got behind our man, because he's our guy... Right wrong or otherwise, it's important for us to now, get over the differences of our political parties and get some work done! I have my own ideas which, I will be outlining at some time here on how I think we could create a better world for you and me and our children and our children's children to live in. 

It's a half day for me today... I like Wednesdays and Fridays for that reason... Time alone, time to get some things done for me. Like a nap :)   Or a massage... oh that sounds so nice.  No thoughts of politics today, maybe I will think about that tomorrow, or the next day...

The tooth fairy came to our house last night.  For my daughter's third tooth.  She left hair ties and the good white erasers for school... what a nice tooth fairy. 

We live in an everchanging world that continues to grow and evolve around us.  We have much to do and be and see and everyone has the potential for greatness.  What a great time to be alive!! That's not to say that bad things don't happen, you can't stop bad things from happening.  You can choose how you react to them and overcome them.  Life is a series of events, bad judgements, good days, bad days, hurt, sorrow, love, excitment, joy, you name it, it's there.  Today, I chose to have a great day, live in the moment, look forward to the future, and smile.... and maybe eat some Chinese food for brunch :)
