I know technically it's still fall. but even with all the leaves around, it's so cold. it feels like winter. winter truly is here, and we in the northwest are gearing up for it. Starbucks is introducing new flavors of mochas, lattes, and hot chocolates to keep us optomistic. winter fashion is blazing forth. Christmas decor is gracing the stores in an effort to keep us bright and cheerful.
and honestly, I'm ready for winter. until after Valentine's Day, I have so much to look forward to. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, my birthday, Valentine's Day.....winter is a wonderful time, right up to the very end, when I finally get sick of it.
but a new kind of winter has descended on our country. you know when it seems winter will never end? like - ever?
this winter has been established by popular vote, and I don't think it's going away for at least four years. I wonder how long until we regret it.
is Aslan coming? or do we have to wait a really really really long time for that?
winter is here. but although I'm trying to stay optomistic, like I love to be, this one day of the year I feel like all the trees on my walk to school - all my leaves are gone and the blooms haven't come yet. life is dead, and bare, for a season.
God bless America - no. God save America.....from itself. may we live to regret our choices and change our ways, and teach the next generation better.
hey! i need no correction, thank-you-very-much! lol i'm am a proud mccainian! LOL. it's the rest of the people of america that can't seem to grasp the SIMPLE knowlage of trickle-down economics.
ReplyDeletebut unfourtunatly, great big asland is helpless as were are in this situation. might i quote hidalgo, "God didn't make all men equal, Mr. Colt did."
maybe it's time for Mr. colt to . . . . shall we say . . . . make more targets . . . . .
lol. that sounded weird. to ME. thats not supposed to happen. it's supposed to make sense to me. *sighs* oh well.
great post by the way!
(phew! almost forgot to mention that . . . . .)
lol KIDDING!
annnnnnd there is my rant for today.
did i really put a "d" on the end of aslan? shame on me.
ReplyDeleteI don't think america made a good choice for president, but what ever happens, God is in control.
ReplyDeletewow Kacy,
ReplyDeleteYou really sound depressed about this.
I think we do have to remember that God is in control of all of this, even if it seems bad.
I guess this isn't getting to me all that much, I have no idea why. while on one hand it is frustrating, somehow it's like I'm here, watching everything, and nothing more. Like, I'm on the sidelines, but not really part of it.
haha Beth, I'm not depressed! actually, I feel exactly the same way as you. when I think about what's in store for our country - the choices that will cause us to fall lower and lower, I am frustrated. I want justice.
ReplyDeletebut at the same time, God is in control, and I have peace about it all. it's like watching from the outside in.
I just really needed to write something and this is what came out. when you haven't actually written in months, you kind of build up steam I guess. sorry for confusing you!
but I'm not depressed. disappointed, but not depressed.
here, I'll make a nice happy post before I leave for Canada - will that be good?
Always winter and never Christmas...hum, will that be because the economy is bad and nobody gets bonuses?
ReplyDelete...the correct plural of which is boni.
The only problem with this election is that the whole globe is settled now and we can't go west to start our own country.
