I have watched my friends and family, this week, run the entire gambit of emotions. I think the best thing to do now is just listen. It weirded out some of my family when they learned that I had opinions of my own a while back. I think that they always took my silence a agreement instead of the opposite. I used to be afraid to use my own soapbox. I think blogging also unnerved me, because it is a black and white in print record of my thoughts. But then this moment is it's own time capsule and the events that created this moment will never be the same and, neither will the atmosphere of tomorrow. This moment is just a record of itself and then we move on I may feel differently about it all tomorrow. So you have this moment, what will you do with it. For me it is the wrong time to discuss the politics of it all. They have been hashed by some for many months now, and will be rehashed by others for many months to come. The best that I can offer now is, strive to maintain a good attitude though it all. The only actions you control are your own and I thoroughly doubt you will ever regret kindness. Whether it is kindness shown to someone who doesn't understand your position and never will or kindness towards someone who never thought that they would make this move. I feel towards the OGBBC the way I feel about my former home in Missouri. I will always be a part of me, it shaped me and I grew up there, and it is full of loved ones. God bless your day~ this too shall pass.
