I'm with you, Debbie. My concerns don't fit into any pattern or box. I'm across the board with concerns. But right now I have a concern for anyone over 50 who has lost a job. As I age, my heart is increasingly for the elderly and their issues (widows were always close to God's heart), issues which are not cute and cuddly and issues (and elders) a lot of people would choose to ignore. Shuffle them off to old folks homes and let them be someone else's problem. Not! And I'm concerned that pols are trying to talk out of both sides of their mouths where Medicare is concerned. Do they think we are blind?. They obviously hope so. What they do has an effect on seniors living on a fixed income and could make the difference in them getting the medical care they need or eating or being hot in the summer or cold in the winter. And sometimes it seems that TPTB don't give a rip.<br /><br />My father, a chemistry major, used to say there is a law of cause and effect and particularly so with politics and lawmaking. You do something over here, and you feel it over there. They really do think they can get away with things with no accountability. WRONG-O! God sees all, and we feel it.<br /><br />I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'm yaking just because I am ready to go to the polls and cast my vote. It might be one vote, but it's one vote for the Lord (in my book)! <br /><br />Love you...<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-88961141125940467962012-10-26T15:47:24.406-04:002012-10-26T15:47:24.406-04:00Well said!

As one political pundit of the feminine persuasion worded it, "Vote with your Lady SMARTS instead of your Lady Parts." I couldn't agree more. I think we'll probably hear lots of women roaring at the voting booths this November.<br /><br />I'll definitely be voting, and as Francie said in her comment, I only wish I could vote often.<br /><br />Have a wonderful week, Debbie. :)<br /><br />DeniseDenise at Forest Manorhttp://houseatforestmanor.blogspot.com/2012/10/october-note-card-party.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-53946804305003911282012-10-23T12:24:28.551-04:002012-10-23T12:24:28.551-04:00What a great post and so well written!
