Politics as usual?

This last election has brought out some serious feelings on both sides of the table. Let's be clear here, I don't get into the political bashing/name calling rhetoric, but I do hold my opinion close to me and I believe the way I do with gusto! Now, I am not here to call anyone "stupid" or bash them across the head for how they voted, but I do agree with some of our modern-day prophets, who embrace the phrase "love thy neighbor". Lately all I feel like I hear is "Love thy neighbor, BUT only if they vote the way you do, have the same horoscope and the same eye, hair and skin color!" Eyring today in our Stake Conference told people to continue forward with "Wise Optimism" what a great saying! There is only so long we can dwell over things we cannot change. Here is the best thing I have seen since the election ended on Tuesday night. It's something I believe and I will do my best to look toward the positive, in all things. In all places, and in every way.
I turned off the comments for this post only. I am not wanting to bash it out with anyone over anything. I simply want people to find a happy place and try to move the nation forward with love, care and compassion, instead of judgement.
