I’m apparently among the minority in my state AND my community. I’m feeling defeated today. *sigh*
I’m not going to be a baby about it, though. I’m not going to whine and I’m trying really hard not to pout. I keep reminding myself that even though I may be in the minority this time around, at least I had the opportunity to voice my opinion. I made the conscious choice and effort to make a difference and that’s what counts. Right?

Yes, it absolutely IS what counts!
I was actually really surprised last night to learn that you were in the minority. I kept thinking, "But wait, I know people in Alaska, and they wouldn't vote like that!". Hmph. I don't like being wrong.
I don't usually talk politics at all, but here goes, for a moment: Voting is all that matters. Here in Michigan, there were 2 ballot proposals. I voted for the option I DID NOT want, but didn't know it until today because of the crazy wording. That proposal was approved 51% to 49%. I feel like a heel, like scum, like all kinds of bad because I voted differently than I wanted. In the end, all that matters is that I DID vote. I took time out of my schedule and exercised my priviledge to vote.
You did too... and even though things were approved that we didn't want, and even though people were elected that may not support, we voted. Those guys and gals are here in the US and stationed all over the world making sure than you and I will always have the freedom to do this, and the right.
I hope you have a great night.
btw, I just listened to your audio clip. How adorable are you!!!!
Wait--what audio clip? What am I missing? I want to hear it!
Thanks, ladies. I knew what was important...just got discouraged and disappointed when things turned out the way they did. The proposals we had on our ballot did not seem confusing to me at all, but they still went opposite of what I would have wanted. But(*Taking deep breath*)life goes on. :o)
P.S. Aimee...the audio clip Jayleigh referred to is in my profile. Just a silly little blurb. I was trying out AudioBlog and once I realized it was time to talk, I couldn't think of what to say. I was so worried I'd end up saying "Ummmm" and ended up saying almost nothing at all. haha But no Umms! :o)
