Coming Together So We Don’t Fall Apart
The 2008 election is over. The upset is not. Whether you had favorites in the National, State, or Local races, no doubt some of your favorites won and some lost. The hardest part is always the next step: accepting that this is what IS, and figuring out what to do with it.
On the National Election, I was pleased by the graciousness of both candidates. Both talked about coming together and working out the differences. We need to do that. That means, if your candidate won – no gloating. No ‘in your face’ comments. If your candidate lost – no whining. No fear mongering. It is what it is.
Just remember — 8 Years ago there were many who felt passionately we had made the right decision. Now the polls show a dismal 22% approval rating. We never really know how things will turn out. We do our best. Do our homework. Follow our hearts and our instincts. And hope for the best. Then live with the results.
Personally, I can’t imagine taking on this country at this time. On many levels it’s a no-win situation. If you can’t simmer down to support the winner, settle down and do what you can to help the country. At the end of the day, like it or not, we are all in this together. And, no matter how you shake it, this was a historic election in so many ways. It was a thrill to be living through it all.
God Bless America.
And thanks for voting. It does matter.
