The only reason I will post this message is to give my posterity an insight of how it feels to have situations that I am not easily able to accept. Namely the results of the recent presidential election. To say that it was a disappointment for Mitt Romney to lose the bid for the presidency of the United States of America,is an understatement.
The State of Washington also passed two issues that have a total disagreement on social behavior. Gay marriage was legalized as well as the approval of the use of recreational marijuana to which we are diametrically opposed.
It feels like the world is going downhill at an escalated pace that one wonders what is to happen next? I described it last night before we went to sleep that "we will just have to lump it," which means accepting the majority, even though is was by less than one percentage, more like .5% that Mitt Romney lost the popular vote.
Life goes on, and I had a familiar thought and smile about how my mother used to think of the Governor of her state and say a swear word whenever his name came or was mentioned. I remember feeling that about one of our former governors too that it was difficult to think something good about him. However, one day I made up my mind to change my attitude and make my own life easier and find something good about the governor. I managed to do that and left those hard feelings behind me and got on with my life.
Now, I am not suggesting what anyone else needs to do to cope with the disappointment they may feel in regards to what just occurred yesterday. All I intend to do is to not think about it and move forward with my own thoughts and leave that kind of issue behind. Thinking of something good about the incumbent isn't how I will change my opinion in this case, but just to move on and stop worrying about something of which I have no control. Life is too short to sweat over it.
I am thankful to have the freedoms we still have and pray for our Church leaders who give us guidance and hope in Christ. Their message is worthy of our considerations.
Life goes on, regardless. Today is a new day, and I can make it what I choose to make it and leave it alone. . . and leave it at that.
