About the election

I got up early today and decided to watch "Meet the Press". Now I have to write in order to regain my balance, since I was so irritatate by the inane questions that were asked of the guest.

I wish there was someplace where we could get real information about the candidates without all the garbage that the media thinks is important. Why can't we support what is good in people rather than picking them apart?

So, after feeling some frustration I come back to my writing to return to my center and to remind myself that I have control only of me. I don't want to carry anger with me --but choose instead to pray for the people I think can best lead our country. I take a deep breath, let go of the "hook" that I felt while watching, and surrender this decision to Higher Forces.

Writing helps me to do that...to get disentangled from the crazy things going on around me, whether they are about politics, or work issues, or the 'problem' of the day.

I encourage others try this therapeutic endeavor. As we find peace within, we do more good for the rest of the world than any anger can ever do. I feel better now...and hope you will try this so you can feel better, too.

Peace, Sue
