I got to vote.
Tolerance is giving to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I’m an optimist, it’s just how I roll.
It’s been a time of great passion where I’ve watched friendships crash and burn on social media and it’s been difficult to not get dragged into the fray.
Politics is a funny beast though and I have seldom, if ever, seen someone’s mind changed by these engagements. I hope for a time when campaigning isn’t done by tearing the opponent down but by focusing on important issues and how those will be addressed.
For me, the important thing is that I got to vote and I will continue to believe in America and democracy.
If this election has you reeling go out and find some beauty in the world, I promise you…it’s still there.
it's (almost always) about the water... 
You’re so right. Great post!
Well spoken Sheryl!
Well said, and thanks for always bringing the beauty our way.
As the old TV commercial said, “Thanks, I needed that”.
Have to agree and now we hope that some healing can occur and we can move on and get somewhere. I certainly never thought it would go this way, but it will be interesting to see what happens next.
