Election and Veteran's Day Program

I haven't written for awhile and I was wondering if I would ever want to put my thoughts and feelings down again. I have been writing in my journal, but not on my blog. With all the election clatter in my head, it put me back to 1986 when I suffered a miscarriage and the ensuing depression and anxiety that followed. I have felt a feeling of doom these last few years as we have struggled to keep our business going and pay our bills. What happened to the days when we weren't wondering if we could keep our water and electricity on? Getting older has brought on more worry about healthcare, insurance and the possibility that we would suffer some major illness and lose our home and everything due to the cost of healthcare. I prayed and worried and prayed some more for relief from my own thoughts of doom. As election day arrived I was talking to my Mom about my concern.  All she kept saying was, "we only have one vote, that's all we have to give." After the election came and went and the rioting and protesters took to the streets chanting hate and filth, I had another stressful couple of days. But, this morning as I woke up I wasn't scared anymore. What's happened now is my fear has turned to anger. These spoiled ass brats who hate our country and the freedom we love, have made me even more sure of my vote. Our secretary quit and didn't even give us time to replace her because her feelings were hurt, we didn't agree with her. I know that my life is on the end of things but my worry is for my kids and twenty grandkids that have to live in this corrupt, vulgar society that we have come to think is normal. Hopefully my anger will subside and I can continue on until I'm called home to join those I love on the other side. I attended a program honoring our veterans at the school two of my grandchildren attend. As they sang God Bless America and American Hero the tears would not stop. I had three uncles who served in the military and I honor them and all those who have served this country. Someday I hope those who want to tear this country down will get what is coming to them, the chickens always come home to roost sooner or later.
