I'm usually not that vocal about politics and what not, but if you don't make it to the polls today you're an idiot.

Today, more than ever, every American's voice needs to be heard.

Regardless of what you believe... regardless of who you are voting for, I'm asking you to please,

PLEASE make it to the polls and vote.

( Some words of Inspiration:Collapse )

Your vote is your voice. Make your voice heard. I plan to.

1. Things I know for sure - quite a few

2. Things I don't know for sure - quite a few more

3. Things I'll discover I don't know as I go along (only a rough estimate) - about as much as things I currently don't know

4. Things I tell my children that I don't believe myself - lots, but now they're older I tell them I'm making it up & they can believe it at their own risk

5. things that make sense if you stop to think about it a. in daylight - lot unless there's media or government involved b. late at night - almost nothing, so it's better to just go back to sleep

6. Things I believe that people a thousand years ago believed, too - quite a few but I lived in L.A. when I was younger, so I have a good excuse...

"He told me one time he forgot himself & his heart opened up like a door with a loose latch & he tried for days to put it all back in proper order but finally he gave up & left it all jumbled up there in a pile & loved everything equally...."

"The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, and face us with the reality of our powerlessness, that is the friend who cares."

"I read somewhere that if given a choice between sex & peace of mind, she said, most people would choose peace. Personally, I said, I do fine with a little anxiety..."

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."

~Mother Teresa of Calcutta

"Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it for yourself. In giving it, you will accumulate a deposit of joy greater than you ever believed possible."
