Well, there’s no doubt about it. This was a hard fought campaign for both candidates. The unfortunate side of elections is all of the negative “mudslinging” that happens between all parties. Whether or not your candidate won, I think most of us are thankful that it is over. No more negative campaign ads!
It’s certainly okay to be frustrated and upset if the candidate you voted for didn’t come out on top. During this post election time, it is important to take it easy on yourselves and others. While you may rejoice in the outcome, or perhaps be sulking, just remember that the sun will shine again tomorrow. Others may not feel the same way, but the sun will shine on them again, too. We may have varying political beliefs, but I believe that variety is indeed the spice of life. (In fact, I seem to remember talking about that in a recent blog post!) Respect each other‘s beliefs, respect each other‘s opinions, and respect each other’s space. Believe it or not, we are all in this together. As Americans. One nation.

The Habit I Cannot Break!
This blog is going to get a bit personal. You’ve been warned! Some habits are tough to break. Some are downright impossible. 22 years ago, I quit smoking. That was a huge accomplishment. 12 years ago, I got healthy and lost over 50 lbs. Another huge accomplishment for me. I know this is gross, and […]

Ode to Elwood
You may not recognize the name Elwood Edwards, but I can guarantee that you know his voice. In 1989, Elwood recorded the voice prompts for America Online. AOL was the way a majority of us (now old people) connected to the Internet back in the day. After hearing the sound of our 14.4, 28.8, or […]
