Ponderings #33

Dear fellow travelers,

Thank you for being you and
Welcome to a new day!
The morning after...........................the election that is!!!
What a winning strategy the winning party had!!
Listening to one strategists, she said, "If a young person votes for the
same party twice they are set for the rest of their lives"
Well, also a quote.....There are lies, damn lies and statistics!!
As for me I did change political affiliations somewhere along my way, I
have changed husbands, houses and careers.
What I don't want to change are my family, my long term friends. And as
my good qualities, (we all have them) I want to enhance them more. And
yes,change the ones that aren't serving me now.

But our country or what I see of as our country is that it is changing, to
me for the better,
Not too long ago, I remember someone of one Christian faith wasn't to
date someone of another....let alone marry out of the faith.
Gays and there preferences were hidden away.
Women were not to work, or just be secretaries, teachers or nurses, a
few did manage to walk their own path in others levels.
Most blacks were also not to work above a certain level.
And when a Catholic was running for president, it was feared the Pope
would run the country......

And now the lines are more blurred..A good thing to me.
Four more years of a Black president,
Not only are religious and interracial marriages happening, but gays are
in most states allowed civil unions!!!! Women are CEO's and world
leaders!! Who would have thought even 30 years ago.

Change does happen. We are becoming a more harmonious, oneness society,
a society willing to accept difference. See beyond the form!
A society which is willing to change attitudes and willing to grow to the
oneness I think we all are.. for me, a good thing. A really great thing...
We are really an example for the world.

Its a brand new day. I choose to live it, not exist in it, learn
something I haven't known before and Yes, maybe even change another opinion.


What have you changed?
What are you willing to change?

Just Pondering on change
