Sigh
It may mean that I'm just getting old and tired - although I hope not - but the change that I'm ready for, signalled perhaps by the election season - is an end to the whining and grousing, the endless complaining and worrying. Many of my favorite blogs seem to me to be mired in doom-saying and tongue-clucking about how terrible things will be if he or she or he gets elected. (Each blogger sees a different ghastly scenario depending on their pet dreadful candidate.)
Isn't it just remotely possible that there will be a change in the political and philosophical weather along with the change in the scene? I'm not one who sees Bush as the doer of all things evil, not at all, but I think new energy is possible with the changing of the guard, and it might be good. I suppose we may all be swept under by a marauding horde, be it religious or not, but isn't it just conceivable that things will improve? Yes, my money is going far less far, just like everyone else, and it's making me a little nuts. I made several more thousand dollars last year than previously yet I'm clearly unable to do house upkeep that wouldn't have been an issue at all a couple of years ago. I hate this feeling. But maybe things will get better.
Maybe I see glasses half full, not half empty, but either way it's possible that someone will come along and enable us to top off the glass again. Isn't it?
