The Election is Over What Now

Thank goodness the election is over. The candidate's that I voted for won so I'm happy. There was a lot of mud slinging that went on during the campaign's and know I hope that is over with. Weather the person we voted for won or not doesn't matter know, because we know have got to come together and help our elected officials succeed so the place we live in can improve and become a better place.

I think it is high time also for these civic or political activist or what ever they want to call themselves to put their energy in helping improve our county and city. We have seen and heard a lot of words from these people know lets see something useful come from them. I hope they will help rally people to help improve our community and make positive social change and to see things progress in a way that benefits the people in the county.

For example, instead of complaining about the new jail (which is going to be built whether you like it or not), lets support the sheriff and the police departments. These men and women that serve us everyday risk their lives for us, and how do we repay them? We complain and lose site of the important things. We need to become encourager's not discourages. Buy supporting our police and sheriff departments we make a big impact on improving our community. When is the last time you thanked a police officer or sheriffs deputy? I challenge you, the next time you see one thank them for a job well done.

Or instead of trying to find fault in someone why not try to help come up with solutions to some of the problems that face our community? Its easy to find fault but its a lot harder to come up with or be part of the solution.

Lets come together and help those that have chose to serve others be successful because their success is our success then we will all reap the benefits of a job well done.
