Hoping that the change is good

This morning has started very overcast and dreary...the temperature at 6:30 am was 62 degrees. Now at almost noon, the temperature is still 62 degrees and its still very overcast. Looks like the grey November days in cold country....only real difference is the fact that we still have so much green everywhere here in central Florida.

My mood has lightened quite a bit...at least I'm not growling at everyone and everything that breathes or moves this morning. Even hubby has to appreciate that change in mood.

Glad to see the election had such an awesome turnout this time around. I just hope those who have been elected this round remember that they are subject to being voted out just as easily if they fail to act on their promises to the people who helped them win. Sometimes these politicians seem to think that once they've gained office they are above reproach and can do whatever they wish regardless of their supporters wishes.

Our newly elected President will have his hands full, that's for sure. To have to step in to such an incredible mess...well, guess he better get the hipwaders out, cause its a deep pile he'll be wading through. It's a bit hard to comprehend at times just how fast things have gotten screwed up under our current leaders. Wasn't long ago...only eight years...that we were living the 'high life' of prosperity, with a balanced budget, low unemployment and even a surplus in the treasury. Here's hoping that in the coming four years things can begin to get back on track with new leadership.
