Election day is always a day of promise, a day of optimism, a day of hope. And then comes the day after the election...
There is always a winner and a loser. And for some reason, the hope, optimism and promise of the previous day is lost. It's too bad, really. It should be when our resolve is the strongest. When we can hope to work together, when we can be optimistic about the future, when we can vow to work harder and more diligently toward our goals.
Let's not lose sight that our right to vote is democracy at it's very core. We should feel fortunate to be able to voice our beliefs, our views, and our opinions. We should feel lucky that we can cast our vote for whomever we choose. And we should be modest in victory and gracious in defeat.
Regardless of the outcome of the election, there is work to be done on both sides of the isle. Let's remember that the promise, optimism and hope is still there. We just need to be strong enough to look for it and find it.
