Well, here we are! Post Election... It took me a few days to absorb, process and figure out what I plan to do. Since I now have a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder, all the jobs I used to be able to do are no more. I could drive, but there isn't a company I want to drive for. So, I have to find more, what one would call 'lazy' or rather all brian and no physical work. Since I live in a pot friendly state, maybe I can go roll doobies for a living...
On a more heart breaking note, I'm watching families split apart because of this election. Mine was already messed up, so no major changes there. But families who were once 'healthy' in their own right are sending or getting emails, texts or calls telling someone they love that they have been disowned because they didn't stand by the family and vote the 'correct' way. It never occurred to me that families would dismiss their own children because the way they voted. But it is happening and has been happening since tuesday night. I say parents, because they are the ones who are doing it most. I wish I had all the answers but I don't. I do know that our parents were raised to think a certain way and we can't change them on any planet. We have to take care of ourselves emotionally and that may even mean not traveling home for the holidays this month or next. I do support that if that is what you need to do to take care of you. Love trumps Hate is suppose to start at home, not be the starting place for it to fall apart. I'm not only scared for myself, I'm scared for anyone who is 'different'. So this I ask of all humans in this country and around the world. Stand up to those who are being belittling by others and stand up for yourself. It is our right! Hugs
