No matter who you supported in this race, I hope that now the election is over we can move forward and unite as a country and bring about change and good. I'm not just talking about the big changes in life - I'm talking about the little things that will start to make a change for the country.
Tomorrow - when you're traveling to work - smile at the people passing you in the cars. Make eye contact and smile at those that walk by you on your way in the door. When you see someone in uniform who is serving our country, take a minute and say thank you for your service - or even a police officer or fire fighter. The world would be such a better place if we were all just a little nicer to each other.
Just because someone doesn't look like us doesn't mean we shouldn't show them a little love. Invite those that seem the most different to join you at the table and bring about change.

Enough of the Red & Blue States and back to the United States of America!
Life is about choices. You make it sound like it takes the election of Barrack Obama to allow you to smile at strangers and be a good citizen.
It shouldn't take any elected official to do that. It is one of those things you do just because it's the right thing to do.
I'm glad to see the high voter turnout. Sad that it took this kind of atmosphere to do it. I'm proud that my country had the guts to vote a man into the highest office based on ideas and thoughts rather than skin color.
As for President Obama's administration...I'll let the historians handle that one.
If you took my comments to mean that it took electing Obama to allow me to smile at strangers and be a good citizen, then you misunderstood the post. Which is unfortunate. The post was more of a challenge for others to use this new found unity as an opportunity to do what I do daily. I smile at strangers, I thank our men and women in uniform as do my children, I say thank you and instill that in my family to do the same. You're just being pissy because McCain lost. As so many of my posts have said....the majority of people don't do the right thing and that is my challenge to everyone. Maybe you should go back and read early posts. *Coughsorelosercough*
