A Vote for Change!

Yesterday the American people en masse voted for change and elected Barack Hussein Obama, a black man with a Muslim name the president of the US.  He gave a rousing speech to a crowd of a quarter of a million people who had gathered in a darkened Chicago park and had them echoing back to him “Yes.. we can!”  It was a moving and historic moment.

This morning each of us has a choice too.  We can vote for Change, change in our lives; change in the way we live them and change in the way that we see them, because the very first step is seeing them as they are.  To realise that they are better than we give them credit for.  Think of all the gifts and blessings we enjoy and embody.  Then having realised how much we have to work with and feel grateful for, look at the flaws, look at the cracks we have papered over and the dingy corners we have neglected to clear.

Today you can chose to vote for Change in your life.  Take stock.  Give thanks.  Do something different, and tomorrow keep on going till the job is done.

Good luck and God Bless us all!
