Election Day

I know I have been terrible about this and I know I should write more, but because I spend most of my day at a computer I am just SO uninterested in sitting still long enough to write a blog.

The past month as been hard for me. I have had a lot of personal issues that I feel that I have not been dealing with as I should be. This really bothers me because those who surround me are paying the price. I have been dealing with some pretty severe nightmares and headaches almost on a daily basis. As well as not being able to just be happy within my own life, within me. This has been really hard on me. I am contemplating some things in my life and making some changes and someone who I thought would understand me and support me no matter what, surprised me. I have considered walking away from it all on more than one occasion and cannot bring myself to do it because I know how many people are there rooting for me and how disappointed I would be in myself. I am hoping the next couple weeks will turn around and I can find a balance in my life and regain control on what seems to be a constantly slippery slope.

Work is a challenge and I am constantly learning new things, about the job and myself. I feel that as the new year comes and we see events come into play and I can actually see my hard work paying off I will be more satisfied with it. I am sad my co-worker Sarah is leaving, but I wish her the best of luck finishing graduate school and finding a full time position. She is an amazing woman and I have learned a lot working with her. I hope we can remain friends outside of work!

Today was Election Day and it was an amazing day. I am proud to say that I voted for Obama and that I am MORE than proud to say he is now my President. I give McCain major props for his speech of defeat. I respect the fact he calmed the republicans assembled from booing our President. (I would like to point out that when Obama mentioned McCain in his speech the Democrats cheered for him...but whatever.) I also give him major respect for saying that Obama was his President and that he would do what he could to help him. I think we all need to remember that. Even if you don't like Obama, you need to at least give him the chance to prove himself. I know I gave Bush the chance to prove himself as President even though I did not support him orginally....he never earned my respect or my trust or my support... but I gave him a chance. That is all I ask of those who did not support Obama. Give him a chance. Hear him out. Educate yourself on his issues. You maybe suprised. If you still do not like him after all that...then by all means dislike him. That is ok with me. That is the beauty of this nation...we have the right to speak out and say what we like and dislike. And tonight we, the majority spoke, Congratulations Obama.

I am sadly am not coming home to Medford again until Christmas. I wanted to come home this weekend but I have to work again this Saturday and am unable to come. I will not be home for Thanksgiving because I am going to Canada with a very dear friend of mine. I am looking for the break and for an exciting new adventure. I am also looking forward to my birthday! I am going to dinner with a large group of friends and I am so exicted to see everyone and celebrate in high style!

Anyway I will try and write again soon....no promises though.
