Cheer Up! Things Are Going to Get Worse

Who am I to feel like she has a voice today? I am the broken hearted. I try not to bring up politics or religion at the dinner table. I try to listen, more then talk. I am naturally very quiet. I am a follower and not a leader. Wellll.....it ends up I am all of those things. And, I ended up a leader working in management for decades. Why? Because, I am born and raised an American. I can be any of those things and be a good American. We all can. I woke up this morning after voting. I watched Hallmark movies last night. I got up with the sun, after seven solid hours sleep. I was SO tempted not to open my laptop. I was going to join a health club with a swimming pool. I can now do this with my medicare, and it's free. I was going to put my beach chair in the car. In New Jersey it is a beach day in November. It is set to be 79 degrees. I am still going to do all these things. But, I was going to wonder the whole time. Who was elected president last night? I was going to celebrate how long I could go, without actually knowing. And, deep down really feel how in my real life, it didn't really matter. But, I opened my laptop and read an email from Marianne Williamson. And, saw who was elected President. I then went on to Kate Bowler's email. And, she gave me a video to help me navigate through this day. It is where I got the title for this post. I laughed out loud of this quote from a nun. Kate Bowler is the Author of "Have a Beautiful Terrible Day". A book I listened to on my way home from the Smokey Mountains this Spring. I am also including the video in my email today. It is your choice to watch. I realized how much I miss older people in my life as I age. If you seek the wisdom of an 85 year old smart writer please proceed to be comforted by his wisdom. The video is here He talks about the value of a journal. And, this is also my passion. Something I will be sharing a lot on this holiday season. My advice for today is to rest into it. I might turn on some TV with commercials in a few days. Lets celebrate! No more political commercials. No more advertising the Great Divide of our country. We are one nation under God. God Bless America!
