Whatever the outcome...

For those of you that haven't voted, no matter who you support, I do hope that you exercise your right to vote tomorrow. Living in a democratic country is really a blessing and to participate is an honor even if it means adding a little extra stress to your day tomorrow.

So on the eve of election day, I must say that I am sooooo very grateful that Williamson County had early voting options! We were so lucky that polls were open for ten days which included one full weekend. So instead of stressing over whether I would make it in time to participate in this important presidential election, I was able to visit a local polling center during my lunch hour last week and complete the process in less than fifteen minutes. It was convenient. It was stress-free. It was exhilerating because I believe that every time that I vote I am participating in making history and I know that every vote counts. It's true that our blog has sported pictures and a banner in support of Obama and I am hopeful for change that he can bring as president. But whatever the outcome of the elections I feel at peace in my participation.... I enjoyed voting in the Democratic primary, participating in the county Democratic convention (Savannah was 2 weeks old, so she went along too), meeting other folks in the area with similar ideals, talking to others about my support and defending my candidate, and especially electioneering by dressing Savannah in campaign gear! So whatever the outcome of tomorrow's election results, I hope you all have enjoyed this process as much as I have.
