How About Giving This Snowball A Chance In Hell

There is an old zen saying that goes something like this... Whatever you are for, strengthens you and whatever you are against, weakens you.

I had no intention of sitting down today to write.

Frankly, I cannot read any more political posts.

From the gloaters or the poor losers alike.

  I certainly don't want to add to the

collective eye-rolling occurring in front of computer screens everywhere,

but I just couldn't get this out of my head

and it had to come out somehow...

that is just how a writer's brain works.

My apologies in advance if you are at the edge of the cliff, but give it a read until the end...

You might have a change of heart.

As if we all weren't tired enough of the months (that felt like decades) of

really awful political ads and fear-mongering from both sides,

today we get to see people either melt down

or do the social media version of

"Na na na na na na!"

My children...

Time out.

Life. Goes. On.

Here is my challenge today.

However yesterday came out for you

(and please be reminded that I am sitting here, the wife of a candidate 

who lost a local election so I  do kind of get it...)

Sit with your good self and think about this...

What are you for?

Not what you are angry about.

Not what you think is going to happen to our great nation,

or state, county or city.

Not what mistakes have been made,

and how the other guy is going to mess things up.

Not how mad you are and how you got cheated and need revenge.

Nor how awesome it is to see that other guy lose,

and how vindicated you are that your guy won.

Don't give any more thought to lies that were told on either side.

Think instead today about this...

What are you for?

That which we are for strengthens us.

That which we are against weakens us.

Go out today. 

Make a little shift in that thinking brain of yours...

see what happens...

Really, what do we have to lose?

Consciously become  pro-peace, pro-freedom, 

 pro-love,  pro-happiness, pro-health,
pro-abundance,

pro-infinity 

Pro-all of us together.

I am no pacivist  nor misplaced hippie child, but I 

do believe that what we are doin' just ain't workin' 

and it can't hurt to try something a little bit different.

Advocating for instead of fighting against might really give

some good things a chance in our little corner of the world.

Like attracts like,

and the snowball grows and
starts to roll downhill,
building momentum,
gaining speed,
gaining good...
