Beloved,

I am in a quandary right now because I know everyone is thinking about the upcoming election. I want to offer some simple truths or beliefs but I can’t find any. I treasure my freedom to vote and I wouldn’t give up that choice even when my stepchildren threatened to kill me and I was told that when I moved, I would have to reregister to vote with my new address which would then be public or I would not be allowed to cast my ballot. As frightened as I was that I would be found, I could not give away the very thing that makes our country great; the ability to cast a ballot and have a say so in my government. So many people died to give me that privilege and we women fought hard and long for that freedom, I just could not let their lives and efforts be in vain.

Something we seemed to have forgotten is that: “WE, THE PEOPLE” is you and I. We outnumber all the politicians and they would not have a job if we did not give it to them. We are that powerful. Why do we give that POWER away so freely and easily? We all are aware that money runs our country but did you ever think or realize that you vote every time you buy something. All the 1% considers is the bottom line which is profit. Are you aware that if we all decided not to buy something, say a brand of coffee, for instance, that they would be out of business. There would be no one to sell that product to so there would be no need for that company. From now on, when you pull out your wallet or credit card, be aware that you are VOTING for that product and whoever profits from that sale. Who or what are you blindly voting for and giving permission to run your life?

We all know that Congress is the real power behind our government and we voted them in. The only power the President has is the power to push that button to start a nuclear war without the Congressional approval. Whose thumb do you want on that button? I, for one, do not want any more of our husbands, sons, nephews, cousins or any male be made to go to war. Wait a minute; I forgot that females are in the armed services now so a draft would entail all eligible young men and women. Ladies, have we not had enough losses in our family? The newer generations have lost the awareness of what war is because it has not been in our country. They have no idea what a world that would be to live in. I know because I lived in the last World War and instead of butter we had lard in a tube in which we broke open a yellow capsule and proceeded to squish it until it was all yellow. That was our butter. Hey, younger ones, would you like to eat that? That was minor compared to missing our loved ones who were exposed to death every day. A nuclear war would take out all phones, computers, every convenience you can think of. What would you do then?

I am so adamant about voting because that is one choice no one can take away from you here in America, you can only refuse to choose and yet by not voting, you do choose. You choose to never be able to complain about our government or what is happening in the world. We are so fortunate to have this freedom while other parts of our world would give anything to have that precious choice. Wars are in existence right now so that the citizens can have what we already have. Do you want what they have or will you vote? When you go to the polls, seek deep in your heart not in your head for the right choice. You will know and feel which person is best and that goes for all the other votes you will pass besides the Presidential one.

Do you feel like this often? “I can’t take it anymore”

Indian Summer has been great around here, I appreciate it more now because I know what is coming. The young men who do my lawn and plowing came yesterday and all the leaves are gone except for what the wind brings. I went out in my kayak yesterday but could not go around the whole lake because the wind came up and the water got choppy BUT I got to out on the water and feel the kayak moving me through the beginning of the waves. It is like being rocked in a cradle yet I only really enjoy it when I am in front of my beach because there I do not have to paddle through them. My kayak is not the last boat out there because there are still a few diehards like me that wait until the last minute to put our chariots away for the winter.

Actions such as this one are what make our country great. It also makes me smile instead of being angry.
