COMPROMISE!!!

Chihuly glass ~ Mountain View, CA Medical Building
The ELECTION is over!

we have an opportunity to CHANGE the way we treat each other!

and the way we look at the problems that divide us...

as the election results rolled in... 

I felt a variety of emotions!

excitement
at the percent of newer voters (18-30 year olds) who took time to learn about the issues, registered to vote & expressed their opinion by voting
   
 anxiety
at the difficult task to "close the gaps" that divide friends, families & neighbors
 
hopeful
that we accept the opportunity to become educated, speak thoughtfully about the issues & with respect instead of hatred
  
my 22 year old niece posted this on Facebook,

"I want to prompt any disappointed voters to remember that bashing the president is not a constructive use of time... we are one country and we will need to compromise if we are ever going to accomplish anything. I would have felt this way regardless of the results tonight, but personally I AM SO HAPPY"  

Thank you, Lauren!!
