Conversations With Marva: Sunday Inspirations/Thoughts: My Pledge

  • John · 11 months ago
    I agree with you. I feel like I'm on some sort of high that I don't want to come down from. I find myself just grinning for no reason at all. It really is a great feeling.


    I had the same situation at work. No one mentioned the Inauguration at all and that was all I really wanted to talk about. But than I shouldn't be surprised, the majority of the people that I worked with voted for the other guy if they voted at all.



    But I don't care, I'm not going to let them get me down. This is a great time and I look forward to the future.

    I can't imagine being around people who don't understand what our country went through the last few years and what just happened with this election. It's no wonder we are in the state we are in with such a lack of intellectual curiosity, lack knowledge of our own government and our part in it, and our a sense of history to the point we don't realize what this election means..

    Yeah, you put the spotlight on that mess!


    Furthermore, for anyone to want President Obama to fail is just ridiculous. Okay, so many don't like his policies, but get over it...the reality is he's our President.



    Kudos in pledging your intentions!

    I came to work after the Inauguration. Everyone was busy like nothing happened.
    I was high off watching it on TV. So, when I got there it was almost a let down but I stayed happy.



    I too have pledge to volunteer and eat better.

    I made those pledges before Obama's speech. It is my goals (resolutions) to becoming a better person.



    One other thing about that day. I sent my children to school thinking they would watch it there. They didn't.

    I was upset by that. I would have let them stay home that day had I known.

    I feel like I'm in alternate university, and everyday I realize it's real. NO, this is really happening.
