not this cute anymore!
Even though I voted for John McCain that doesn't mean I am disappointed by the outcome of the election. I am very hopeful and excited for the future of our country. President-elect Obama has my respect, my support and my prayers. I am sure the victory was thrilling, but the responsibility he now faces is overwhelming. He needs our support. We must work together. If we focus on the negative, we will most definitely find it. Obama is not a perfect person (by any means) but he has been elected and there aren't many out there who want his job. I know I don't. But I CAN do my part. We have so much to work for and so much to look forward to. Our children need us to be positive, respectful and courteous. We need more love and unity in our communities, neighborhoods and families. If there was ever a time to put our differences aside and be united, it is NOW! I pray that we can come together as a nation... that we can work and sacrifice to get out of this mess we are in...
Proposition 8 in California was a tough battle. The results aren't "official" yet, but it looks like it passed by a small margin. I am pleased with the outcome, but I know there are many people who are heartbroken. I feel for them and hope they understand why it's so important for us to fight for what we believe to be moral and right. It won't be long before we have to raise our voices again. It was too close for comfort and there is NO DOUBT it will be a never ending battle. I just hope, through it all, we can love and respect one another.
Today I feel blessed. Blessed that I had the opportunity to vote. Blessed that I could watch the election from the comfort of my own home with a roof over my head. Blessed that I have running water and a bed to sleep in. I feel blessed to drive my car to the grocery store with food stalked on the shelves. I feel blessed to practice my religion freely. I have so much to be thankful for. I have so much to fight for. And I have so much work to do--- so that my children and grandchildren can feel as lucky as I do.

God bless us all, but especially our newly elected President Obama.
