Because We Can

      Thank you my friend, from across the pond, for the above title of this blog. It can be used for so much these November days.
      Voting begins for some today, many have voted early, because we can!!
      Because we can, we get to choose who to vote for!
   
      Because your choice is so personal, hopefully you feel proud. I know I do.
      There seemed to be a clear choice to each of us between Trust and Temperament.
      To not trust can be forgiven, not forgot. Some can never trust again, but the option is there.
      However temperament in a person, is constant. You cannot change that, forgive that, mold or work with that, when the temperament is reckless, cruel and wrong.
   
     Because I can, I turned the telly off for much of the election, it was very toxic to me. It scared me to see people, know people whom were off the charts acting bad. There angry temperament was and is
frightening.
    I think you have to vote, after you have done your research. Be comfortable in your skin, heart and mind. That is all we can do, because we can, vote for our candidate.
   Someone will lose, and that will hurt many people. It is a big part of life, to win or lose. How we act after any lose, is important.
   I think my person will win, but if they don't it will not change my beliefs. I will get up and work harder for the next election. While we are walking this earth, we have to do our best. Because we can, we do.

This crisp November Day ( November rolls so nicely off your tongue, October sounds like something is stuck in your throat!!) ( just sharing a thought) finds me, at peace.
     My mom and Dad, all 85 years are doing good, my kids are wonderful humans, and my g-kids are growing and learning so much, driving their parents nuts, which is the deal!! because they can!!! Number four son bought a beautiful house with his wife, near us, and it is filled with light and joy coming out of the walls, I thank the owners for leaving behind such goodness. (Damn long ass sentence) (sometimes you just have to keep going, grammar be gone!)
   My hubs will retire this August at 70 ( Bill, that is old!) ( still my Bob Newhart)
   Me, I write, I paint, I love, because I can.
