If you leave a comment, Russel will visit your blog and comment.I spend a lot of time getting my inspiration and motivation from Mother and Father Nature. Invariably during each day I'll find something that reminds me of my own life, or people around me, the economy, sometimes even people that I've only met over the Internet.

For the most part, I've found that people are very resilient. Bad things happen and they deal with them the best they can, most often recovering and moving on to an even better and brighter future.

Even in a bad economy and a bad real estate market, people have been doing what is necessary to survive, to put food on the table for their family, to pay the bills, even to take some time off and simply enjoy time together.

To all my wonderful conservative Republican friends here at ActiveRain who are still ranting and raving, I offer the following picture to remind you not to blow your tops off. Nothing good will come of it. You had eight years. I look forward to our eight years.

Don't blow your top off!

Russel--After a busy week and Friday, my husband & i enjoyed a glass of wine while sitting on our porch then we walked around our six acre property before having dinner.  Now he is watching the Stanley Cup play offs and I am here in the rain.  What a way to end the week--my inspiration . . .  Have a good weekend.
