The shells on this beach will be here tomorrow, next week, next month and even years from today. The election won’t change the shells, the sand on the beach, or the waves in the ocean.

It also won’t affect the love I have for my family, my friends or my life. And I hope it doesn’t change your life and your relationships.

Let’s just keep loving those we love, living the life we made for ourselves and remember that God has us, He has the election. He has plans for us and he died for us to live life to the fullest.

I wish we could fast forward to two weeks down the road. Or maybe just fall asleep for awhile so we don’t have to listen and be aware of all that will happen in the next few days.

Since I can’t just fall asleep and hibernate I’m going to try to ignore the news, ignore the mess they make of it, and work hard at it not letting it affect my life.

None of us voted the way we did because we want to do harm, we all voted the way we did because we think it was the best way to vote. Whether you voted for him or her, it mattered that you cared enough about this country to vote.

Let’s smile at a stranger, hug a friend that needs it, don’t post mean things about each other, and remember it’s the people in your life that have your back, not a politician that you will never meet.

I for one am grateful that I’m not an oblivious shell on the beach, even if it means I have to get through another election.
