My thoughts on 2012 election

 As much as I hate all of the election talk and bashing that is going on, I am posting my thoughts for myself. I'm sure no one cares about my opinion, I just like to have something to look back on.

 So after an emotionally draining night last night, I woke up depressed and honestly, in total shock. I really thought that the election would go the other way. As a young voter, I really counted on the majority of others sharing my same opinions and views. I have friends and loved ones who are both republican and democrat, and I am respectful of their opinions. I just felt this great sense of "doom" when I heard the results. I am thankful for my right to vote. As i said my morning prayer, I felt love and comfort from my Savior. He is in control. He has a plan for us. I will make the best of things. I was reminded that I have control over a lot more than I think. It confirmed the Relief Society lesson I heard on Sunday. I am the mother of my home. I can make my home a sanctuary for my family. I can protect my children while they are in these walls. I can make it a place filled with love and Christ's teachings. I will do better in these areas that I CAN control. And I will trust in my Savior, that his ways are not my ways this time. I am very blessed to have been given this reminder and comfort.
