(#5688) Rising to the challenge

      Some days are busy as all get out and others are as simple and uncomplicated as it gets. Knowing that both are extremes on the continuum of life is the key. That way you can handle both with the same aplomb regardless of their appearance. Today is one of those days where the busy is still busy and not a sedentary moment is encountered. But when you are in the moment it doesn't matter, you just do. I used to get so up and down over things and now I stay even keeled feeling fortunate to still be viable as a being. So rising to the challenge may be a bit of an odd title for this post but it does reflect the battle I went through to get to this point.
     Rising to the challenge is also what our politics is all about. Putting our best efforts into trying to help the most people is our call to arms and believe me, as I am sure you know, it is a battle worth fighting. Vice president Harris will give us all a chance to succeed at our hopes and dreams. She is fighting for we the people not the wealthy 1 percent. But let's be clear, she is not going to harm the wealthy 1 percent. She is going to make them participate in the democracy that has benefitted them the most. That is what our leaders should be doing. Keeping our society fair and growing. I am so excited by the prospect of a Harris/Walz presidency and I can still feel the energy of it.
     68 days from now is our election day. On that 68th day we will be casting ballots in every state that don't already have all mail in voting. Let me take a moment here to castigate those states that do not allow free choice to mail ballots instead of having to endure obstructive voting lines and difficult to attend voting centers. Democracy is ours not some republican officials who think they can make us not vote so they can have an advantage. Shame on them and may they be cursed with no votes for their dastardly efforts. Meanwhile the rest of us progress into our future by sharing democracy with all of us and letting the votes decide our future not some nefarious tricks to deny our rightful enfranchisement.
