Healing Time after the Election...

Now is the time for healing, to see
how much damage has come out of
this and does the anger still matter?

How much damage was done with
the anger, is it a deal breaker? How
do you start talking about it and how
you really feel about ........your friend,
your family members, who were so
adamant against your choices of
candidates? Who were hateful with their
comments, and even after they found out
their candidate lost. Predicting horrible
things.

Being on the winning side is easier, but
it depends on how you deal with that. If
you don't gloat, it is easier. But there are
still people who are mad that their party
didn't win.

Even being a member of the Cafeteria Party,
who has no big political PARTY... still we chose
sides. Will the friendships stand.. and in the times
to come.. as there will be mistakes, and there
will be decisions that ALL of us will not be happy
with, how will we deal with it?

I am sure there are those who were on the hate
Bush brigade, who blamed the Republican party
and those who believed in Bush, were constantly
having their friends defend their choices. And some
did with grace.. but how are you, who voted for Obama,
going to defend him, when he makes those hard choices
for us? Presidents are kind of like that old saying...
You can make half the people happy half the time.
And all of the people, none of the time.

Those of us, of the Cafeteria Party, know that Obama
is not perfect. But we started with him, with hope. And
we continue to hope, even thru the rough times. It is going
to be a rough road for him, as he travels thru these 4 years.
He has a hellish mess to clean up, to guide us back to where
we can be whole again.

But I am proud to be an American...
I am of the generation of Love it or Leave it.
So I guess the question will be of us all...
Will we sit and watch, or will we part of the recovery?
