A New Day Has Come!

Well, although the election turned out a bit different than I wanted, I am still looking forward to what is next for America.   Quite honestly, I am relieved this whole process is over.  I could not tolerate another slanderous commercial about either candidate, or another scary doctor in a clinic ready to butcher a young woman.  That is the part about this country that bothers me the most.  We get force fed politics whether we like it or not.  The saddest part to me is that we are ready to accept change in one area, but not in others.  I wonder who these people are that don't believe in equality.   Bugs me so much.  But the one thing that bugs me the most is regardless of who won the election, I would never ever let my children see that I was disappointed in the outcome.   I would then be teaching them that it is okay to disrespect our leaders and essentially teaching them to hate.  I think that is what we did with Bush.  He wasn't in this alone.  WE elected him.  His choices may not be right, but he has advisors that aid him in his decision making.  As adults, if we walk around tossing around negative comments, our children learn this as okay behavior.  That is why our youth is so disrespectful.  I have heard the comments.  It makes me sick.  I pray my children will never be that way.  I hope I will have taught them better.
