January 21 HOW CAN I NOT TALK ABOUT THE INAUGURATION

AN amazing path today - isn't that a beautiful site?

I hope you are had a good Martin Luther King celebration yesterday.  He was a great man, and I believe he really wanted peace.  I wonder if he was still alive what he would have thought about this past election.




How can I not talk about the Presidential Inauguration?


Let me preface this with I love you no matter who you voted for.

I hope you love me no matter who I voted for.

What I pray for - truly pray for - is peace and love for our country.

I want the country to prosper!

I want is for us to all work together!

Let us work as one - with no more division.

We must start new.

Let's save our country and our people.

Let's pray for our wonderful country.

I have always said-I am an American first and will support the president the country elects-because that is what we are supposed to do. There are times I have wished things were different but I know that the country has a chance to change it all at the next election.
I am praying for a peaceful transition as we move forward. The bottom line is we ALL love the United States and want what is best for everyone. I am praying for the haters and hope they can find a peaceful acceptance of what is happening.
God bless you, my old friend. xo Diana

MORNING! It was a lovely inauguration and I watched it all day long yesterday. I am so excited for what seems to be a NEW beginning for this Country. Like you, I know that we may not all agree, but I never want to allow politics to interfere with my relationship with friends. I laughed at the woman on the scale...Those M&M's I don't think were helping her. Your post are always fun and I am always excited to see what you post.....Have a good day...pretty sure it is still COLD in your area....so, stay warm.

I, too, was glued to the television yesterday ... more than a little optimistic. I love your way with words, Sandie. From your mouth to God's ears!

I loved everything about the inauguration ceremonies yesterday, Chatty! It is time for us to come together as a nation under God and with common sense. And Martin Luther King, Jr., will always be one of my heroes. Blessings!

Yes ma'am! I love you no matter who you voted for and I think the divide going on in this country is pretty sad. That said - We watched a lot of tv yesterday and totally enjoyed it. Praying for a fresh start!

Our Country needs all the prayers it can get. I pray for it and our leaders and for peace and prosperity for all. I'm proud to be called an American.

Praying for peace and for a peaceful transition, and a fresh start.
Love the cartoon too. I can't have m&m's in the house. They are a bane to my diet, (which by the way isn't going well at all.)

That is a neat road picture. Martin Luther King was such a peaceful and good man. I like the "stained glass window" quote, and it's so true. How strange that she had 300 snails as pets! And she took them to parties! Oh, I love M&M's, they are one of my favorite candies. Yes, I watched the Inauguration. Hope this is a good year for all of us. That last picture of the pug is funny. January is going by so fast. Enjoy the rest of the days, Sandie. And thanks for your daily e-mails, I love them. : )

This snail woman story is so weird, I think I will research it! Good to see you today, Sandi!

Make America great again! That is an interesting inspiration. I can't believe that about her snails. Weird! Love the pug photo. Have a nice week.
