almost election day

Well. Here we are on election eve. I have to admit that I don't know all that much about politics. No I take that back. I just can't stomach politics. I would vote for Sarah Palin's divorced sister's crazy ex husband if it would stop the robo calls. I cannot wait for the ads and the calls to stop. If I see Elizabeth Dole's face lifted face one more time or hear Kay Hagan's voice approving this message one more time I'll go screaming down the street. But this is an important election. And if Obama does win, the first thing I will feel good about is the fact that a majority white america elected a black man and all the elderly blacks who actually remember drinking from separate water fountains and using separate bathrooms and entrances to restaurants and who actually sat in the back of the bus....for THEM to live to see a black man elected to the highest office in the land would be a great thing. It will also show us that while pockets of racism still dot the landscape, by far we have moved ahead. I know alot of people don't like Obama but personally I think he is a good, honest, decent man and I trust him. I just do. Yeah, I think he's a good man. I don't think he will be able to do much of what he has tried to promise, like redistributing wealth. Just trying for a living wage for the service industry would be a great beginning. Most of us will never live to see universal health care in this country either. Anyway, I have to go to bed. I just wanted to jot down a few thoughts about tomorrow and ask you all to join me in prayer for OUR country and for the candidate who actually wins. We are a family. We have to transcend our differences and meet one another in a bipartisan place where we do care about the common good.
Much Love,
Suzy

My First Post

The ONLY reason I have a blog page is because I have a friend who is so sweet and so generous that she created this for me. And I am so glad she did. I think it's going to be alot of fun. But I never would have done it for myself. She is so kind. It's what first attracted me to her youtube videos and comments. Oh I know she has been embroiled in some drama but that's only because she champions the ones she believes have been done wrong. I just love her. You know I have been online for over 10 years and I have met some wonderful people. This IS real life to me. It's as much real life as 3-d life. The internet healed my broken spirit during my first years online. I'll tell y'all about it sometime. I have one friend I met 10 years ago and although we have never met in person, we have remained extremely close all this time. I treasure all my friends, and have felt more companioned at times in a chat window than in a room full of people. Anyway, this first post is dedicated to a dear internet friend. Someone who has always been there for me. I just love you Angie!
And Martha thank you for following my blog! I love you too! Now I am going to try to add a picture of my granddaughter. hmmmmmm. I'm an idiot so I don't know if i remember what Angie said.
