every day a new day

fellow americans,

it's deja vu all over again. but not really.

four years ago i was practically in tears as i went into the voting booth to vote against someone,but i didn't really want to vote for the person i thought could defeat him either,but i did anyway. this year,i voted from the attitude of what i wanted. i feel really good that i did so.

things are starting to look like four years ago,but it isn't. it really isn't. there was a record voter turnout. people care. and there is more than one way to create a world we want to live in.

envision a beautiful world and happy people and don't overlook all that is already that way.

pray for EVERYBODY. it will make you feel better. and when you feel better,you will have clarity and thus you will be inspired and will find ways to create the world you want. there is nothing that can stop love and appreciation for what good there is and what there will be.

be brave and true! be optimistic!
it's the american way!

love and hugs and balloons for all!

p.s.my assumption that all the folks on my friends list share my political leanings,at least broadly,may be wrong. but i think most of what i'm saying could apply to all of us in this country.

Thank you for this. I'm trying so hard to keep my spirits up. Everyone else is getting depressed, and I'm trying to hard to be encouraging, but I'm starting to slip, myself.

Good things not only are possible, but are happening. We just have to see them. :)

This is the best post I've read so far regarding your election in the USA. It's so refreshing to see some positive thinking and living. Thank you!

I prayed for peace and God's wisdom. And if I didnt agree with the decision (which I didnt) than for the ability to accept it.

and yes praying for the world is the best thing we can do. The lord knows we will need all the prayer we can get.

I'm sending everyone on my flist to you for a pep talk! I had to buck up to go into work today, because I knew there would be gloating Republicans. So I just went with the attitude of "wasn't it great how muuch we DID accomplish? How close we came? How close the race was? How Kerry won NEW HAMPSHIRE?" On the inside I was feeling a bit ill, as many were poking fun of me. 98% of my co-workers are Republicans.

I love your attitude. It makes me happy, just reading your words, and honestly, there isn't a lot to be happy about right now in this country, so thank you. I will pray, too.
