A View From The Inside Out

I seem to have missed it, but I’ve learned now that there were three persons on the ballot for President yesterday, and I don’t mean the Libertarian.  They were:

John McCain

Barak Obama

First African American to run for office.

The last one seems to have won because that’s all I’ve heard on the news today, “The first African American elected to the White House.”  I wonder if the other two candidates knew of this last one’s credentials.

The election of Obama is supposed to heal our land of racism.  In this state, all it has done is light the fire under already cold ashes.  It’s stoked today.  I pray it will not be a wild fire.

Don’t forget to vote.  I can’t image that anyone would with all that’s in the media.

I have arthritis and today has been SO bad.  It’s like a dull ache.  Makes me want to just climb in the bed with an electric blanket and stay there.  Tylenol helps.  Funny how Fall is better for my asthma but is murder on my joints.

I’ve got my dress picked out.  I’ve bathed the cats and the dog.  We’ve had our picture taken and now we’re ready for Dinner with the Cartwrights.  I can hardly wait.

I’ll post a picture of the dress as soon as I figure out how.

I have been out of work so much lately with bronchitis.  Today is my first day back after another bout with the ‘mess’.  I’m so tired I can barely sit at my desk.  I want to go home and take a nap.

I was so depressed this morning, so I’ve been trying to get in a better frame of mine.  I was thinking about all the parties that are going on this week.  Of course, at church we don’t do Halloween, but we either do a HallowHim or a Fall Festival.  And then I was thinking.  I wonder if the Cartwrights had Fall Festivals.  After the harvest was in and the animals all rounded up to be where they needed to be, did they have a celebration.  I bet they did.  The Cartwrights always loved parties.  Hoss specifically liked dancing with the little ‘fillies’.  So in order to get myself in a better mood I say let’s imagine the Cartwrights are having a party for Fall Festival.  I’m going out to buy my dress now.   And it won’t be blue!
