Election Day

Election day is almost here. There is so much passion on both sides, we Americans are a passionate people. I just felt the need to say that I have friends who I quite literally love and would trust whole heartedly in any kind of emergency, with my children, etc. who I completely disagree with on political matters. It helps for me personally to remember that when politics starts to get my Irish up. So, just wanted to say that we are all Americans tonight and will remain so on Wednesday no matter the outcome of the election, and that is a beautiful thing. If your candidate loses take comfort that almost half the country is in agreement with your choice and the side who won are by and large decent people who love their families and their country like you do. And there's always next time...

Wishing you peace and love!!!

Now, everyone go and vote your conscious on Tuesday!!!!!

And if your man loses just look at this little deer, it's gotta cheer you up a little...

Love,

Tanya

Tanya,
Good message! But I hope I don't have to come back to look at the deer on Wednesday! LOL! :)

Great post, Tanya! And I'm cracking up over Jona's comment... hope I don't need to look at the deer on Wednesday either.

Sadly, that little dear has since passed away. He just couldn't survive being outside his mom so young. http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2008/10/nooooooooooo-sh.html

But, I discovered your blog and patterns this weekend and have been thoroughly enjoying both.

That sweet little deer is amazing. I completely agree with you. I was quite shocked to find out how much a friend and I disagree but we have found a way to appreciate each other's differences even though we both think the other is a bit crazy! It takes all kinds ,I suppose, but I am holding out great hope that we will find a new path tomorrow.

Excellent message!
I won't be checking back to look at the deer regardless of what happens...gotta find room to store all the Darla I ordered at market!

My husband and I have different political views. We keep our oppinions to ourselves. We want our children to know that having a different oppinion is ok. And the correct way to handle it.

Tanya, I don't know how I missed reading this before today. It's a very good message to keep in mind.

I'm very puzzled by a news story that ran the other day. It said that people overseas like Americans again after the election. I'm sorry, but we're the same Americans we were the day before the election.

Oh, so you only publish comments favorable to you. You delete anything that disagrees with your views. I'll be sure to avoid buying your wares.

[lucinda]

Well, you are on the ball, at least when it comes to erasing any negative comments. Be sure I'll spread the word in my quilt groups.

I like what Suzanne, the farmer's wife said about being the same Americans the day before the election that we were the day after the election.
