So how are you? I
mean really? I saw something recently
posted by a cousin on social media that had said “ It feels like Americans are
in divorce court and just waiting to see who gets custody of us”. It hit the
nail on the head. Whatever side you were
hoping to win may have you now feeling elated or feeling just the opposite with
yesterday’s announcement. For the most part, I see as a nation that we
are weary from COVID, racial issues and a contentious presidential race. Our emotions are upfront and center and for
many, they are very vocal about where they stand. I get it. There are so many factors out of
our control but yet they affect us. I imagine there are many things in play
that we may and may not know about and I for one feel a bit over-whelmed with
so much emotion swirling all around.
Either way, there were things I liked and didn’t like about
each of the presidential candidates and their respective parties. I’ve listened to conversations from some
that worry about American becoming the next “socialized nation” and I have to
admit that scares the you know what out of me and is there someplace else
better than America to live in? I ponder
for a few minutes and think, no there isn’t anyplace else like the U.S.A. I love
my freedom and all that comes with this amazing privilege that I think so many take for
granted. Or at least I have. It comes down to the fact that there isn’t
anywhere else I would rather live than in America. I am going to put my trust in something
bigger than who is our next president. Tonight,
as always, I will get down on my knees and spill my soul to our Creator and
then ask for divine guidance for you, me and all of America.
As I write this, it is basically a snow globe outside my window and it beckons for comfort both physically and spiritually.

Today I will be do the things that help calm my soul, for one – it helps me when I write to you, next I will bundle up and take a long walk outside which is another place to talk to God. Then later on I will be baking Oatmeal Cranberry cookies that have been dipped in chocolate. Recipe is here. I will save a few for my Mr. Right when he gets off work, but the majority will be taken to my fav law enforcement office with sincere thanks for all they do. Giving helps me and it feeds my soul.
And as you navigate through your day, I wish you well, truly
and sincerely. My hope for you, me and
the rest of America is to move forward as we work towards keeping our freedom
and realizing how fortunate we are. There will always be differences and I hope
we all realize we can’t change anyone but ourselves. We can choose how to navigate our everyday
life and it is up to us. And my choice will be
to follow our Creator’s words of wisdom as best I can. I am human, I fail and then I get back up and
try again to do better. This quote says
it perfectly to me…..
Wishing you and your family all the best. As always, thank you for stopping by and
sharing part of your day with me. As always, feel free to post a comment and by
all means share the post if you so feel inclined. All my best, Gayle
