states...

i'm happy to hear that obama won another primary today. The thing is I like hillary and as a woman I do feel a little guilty not supporting her - but I think obama gets more of the young and other people who don't usually vote excited enough to come out and vote - which means more votes for democrats - and I believe he will be more diplomatic. I believe both would make a good president - but I believe obama would be more effective. I seldom put my political opinioin out there in cyber space - but here I am spouting off. This is the first time in a while I've been excited about and candidate rather than just voting against the opposition. The first time I heard an interview with Obama I really liked him and hoped he would run for president. I am so happy that he is. I really want to believe in our country that we can be good again after almost 8 years of being ugly americans. 8 years of not caring about the poor, not caring about human rights, just not caring. It's time America to again show that we care.

In an unrelated matter the map below shows what states I've visited in my life. For some reason it cuts off when I post it here - well I really did it for my own benefit. I wanted to see where else in the states I needed to visit. Some of the places I really remember very little (like New York, the Dakotas, Nevada, Tennesee) becuase I was so little. Other places like Oregon, Washington, Colorado, South Carolina, New Mexico and Arizona... I remember well and love.

Daily Examen - things to consider each day

1. Express Gratitude 2. Petition for light (see self & ohters in God's eyes, ask to see the role only I can play) 3. Review the day: look at day's actions, omissions, thoughts & desires what does this tell me aobut myself in relation to self, others, God, the world 4. Lift out something & ask for help 5. look ahead - how do I want to carry on (today - the rest of my life what / who do I want to be master of my life? what are my core values? )
