America, One Week From Today…After The Vote #election2016 #2016vote
America will be a different place one week from today. We will have elected our first woman as President in Hillary Clinton or we will have elected Donald Trump. The race is tightening and people are on edge. One thing we can agree with is that we are all ready for this to be done with. My country is a very divided place at the moment. Whoever is elected will have to unify us somehow, although I don’t see it happening soon. After we vote, what then, who will we be? What will our destiny hold? Many other questions shall be asked too.
It will be interesting to see what happens next Tuesday night as our votes are being counted and the electoral college map gets filled out in blue for Democrats and red for Republicans (thanks to the late Tim Russert of NBC News for that color coding idea a few years ago). In the USA it takes 27o electoral votes to win the Presidency. The popular vote doesn’t always decide the outcome so there is another point of discussion.
Yesterday I voted and I feel good about my ballot. You probably can guess how I voted though.
The next six days will be tense. We shall see how it all shakes out.
Wow, It’s Wednesday Already!
Congratulations to us all because we made it to Wednesday. Let’s hope we all have a great day. Hang in there everyone, we got this…whatever this is.
All Saints Day 2016 – Remembering Those Who Have Gone Before. #allsaints
All Saints’ Day is a celebration of all Christian saints, particularly those who have no special feast days of their own, in many Roman Catholic, Anglican and Protestant churches. In many western churches it is annually held November 1 and in many eastern churches it is celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost.(From timeanddate.com)
I am grateful for all those who have inspired me to be the person I am who now are among the company of saints. On a day like this it is good to remember those people who sacrificed and gave their lives in the service of their creator and for people from all walks of life. God bless them for they are Holy and worthy.
Hello November 2016
It’s November 2016 and unlike prior November’s the colors don’t look like this where I am. It feels more like late Spring with temps in the 80’s. I am ready for a significant cool down.
Anyway, let’s have a great month!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year….too soon?
