Hangover

November 8, 2012 By Talya Tate Boerner 13 Comments

hang·over

 noun ˈhaŋ-ˌō-vər  that remains from what is past (Merriam-Webster)

Raise your hand if you have a political hangover. Tired of the nasty rhetoric. Thankful the election is over. Ready to move on. 

No matter what side you were on, we should all be back on the same side today. The side of our country.
Every day marks a new chance to do something different, make a change, be creative. Look at things a different way.
Be a part of the solution.
One thought, one gesture, one person can be the start of something new. Something that will make a difference. One stone thrown into the lake makes hundreds of ripples until reaching the shore. Enough ripples alter the shoreline.
Everyone talks about changing the world, but no one talks about changing themselves.
Every day our body generates new cells, new chances—life. Each day we have the opportunity to participate. Until our days are used up.
