This Week…Moving On 

 

While others have snow, we still have temps in the 80s. You’ll get no complaints from me!

God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.
Chester W. Nimitz



Regardless of how you voted this week, I think most of us can agree on two things…

ONE- we’re happy the vitriolic ads will stop from all sides.

TWO-we are lucky to live in this country, where freedom is treasured. 

 

Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.
Abraham Lincoln



You’ve heard me talk about Mini-Me, my niece’s daughter. My brother needs to keep his blood pressure under check and see a doctor. (you know how men are) 

She is bossy and it seems I am the one blamed for it. (I will not deny it!) She has placed post-it notes around his house to remind him to call the doctor and check his BP. And, she gets in his face to tell him!!!

 

The secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom is courage.
Thucydides



All I can say is Wear your bossiness well, young lady!




It doesn’t take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.

  1. Norman Schwarzkopf



Some of us are happy this week, some may not be. Some accept what is, and some may find it difficult. 

My recommendation is this…be gracious in your thoughts and actions. 

 

Have a gracious and fun weekend!

Good morning Kathy. The majority have spoken as they have in the past. We the citizens of the USA have survived so far. Sometimes we had to endure and sometimes we thrived, either way we survived. Enjoy your day.

I agree Wayne Martin  we have to honor what the majority want, even if we don't agree.

Good morning, Kathy... that mini-me is a character, for sure. Lots of people need to pull up their big boy and big girl panties and just move forward now that the people have spoken.

Nina Hollander, Broker mini- me is a real character. I'm so proud of her.

Hi Kathy,

Interesting post.  You hit on many topics, but I do say that I make all the decisions in my family, but let me ask her first!

By the way, I do stop and ask for directions.

LOL Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty you may be the exception!!!  Larry has never met a stop light that he tried to avoid or driving many miles out of the way because he didn't want to ask directions!!!

Kathy, there will always be differing opinions, and in any election or major decision, there are winners and those who are disappointed. The focus, though, should be on moving forward and finding ways to work together to improve things for everyone!

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 I couldn't agree more. We as a people who come together can do almost anything.

To me, the most interesting part is how (if you actually spent some time and knew the issues) how little truth existed from either party about the position of the politician on the other side. I think truth should be REQUIRED in political advertising, and if you knowingly lie you should be fined.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty that would be ideal, wouldn't it. I keep thinking of the line in the movie Somethings Gotta Give when Jack Nicholson tells  Diane Keaton that he told her a version of the truth.

Hi Hannah Williams oh no!!! Are you taking locally pollinated honey every day???? I hope you feel better. 

Mini-me is 10 years old...hard to believe.

Am also glad to see the rhetoric die down as well but some people are still unsettled about the results and need to get over it by, as you say, moving on, Kathy!
