Being a cave dweller my need for light is followed closely by my need for music. If I can't have the bright sunshine pouring in around me I can at least have the bright sounds of music surrounding me. Thank Heavens for a very well made cave and very thick walls. I hear nothing here in my little cave so I am under the assumption that my neighbors next door and above can hear nothing from me. Fortunately there are only two neighbors that I can be annoying and so far no one has arrived at my door with a base ball bat so I will assume I am not violating any ones air/ear space. I don't turn the tunes on until after 10 AM and they are always off by 5 in the afternoon because that's when the TV usually starts blasting. And if that hasn't bothered anyone it's a wonder. (And the kids actually used to believe it was Husband who had the TV turned up so high !)
But . . . returning to the topic at hand . . . today's choice of tunes actually had been chosen yesterday before I went out for a very unsuccessful trip to Toyota. But that is a whole another blog entirely. I picked out 3 CD's, put them in the player, turned them on for all of about 20 minutes and then had to get going so just turned it off and hit the road. End of music for yesterday. Return to home cave, turn on TV, get involved with ELECTION 2016 and that was that until 2:45 this morning. HOLY CRAP ! DONALD TRUMP IS PRESIDENT ! ? ! ? ! ? W.T.F. ! ? ! ? !? Or did I just dream all that ?
Okay, so I did vote for the man but it is amazing that it actually happened. I did pray a lot about this and my prayer was that GOD PLEASE give us someone who will NOT destroy our beautiful country. WE SHALL SEE ! And my belief that God does work in mysterious ways will keep my faith that our country will prevail but for the rest of you out there who may not have as strong a faith you may need a little extra boost to get through these post election days, weeks, months. Just like those of us who did not vote for Obama these past 8 years have needed something to help us get through these years of "Hope and Change". Might I suggest some music. And this is just what I got up to this morning already in my CD player . . . Thank you Bob Marley . . .

And so we will go on from here. Just as we did eight years ago when Obama was elected president. We will wait and wonder what is in store for us. We will watch and be ready to jump on every mistake the new president makes. But we will always have our music to remind us that no matter who is sitting in the White House it's us little people who are actually making our country WORK. YOU are the people who are going out every day spending your money, talking to your neighbors, deciding to be a good person or a cranky old bitch or bastard. Put some tunes on, put a smile on your face and remember it's up to you to see the good in people and find the humor in life. Even when our new president has a mop for hair and makes your skin crawl. Keep laughing ! Obama looks like a black Howdy Doody and he ran the country for 8 years and we're still standing.
