Change

As I was leaving the rec center after voting this afternoon there was a group of people giving out stickers and buttons that said "I chose change" and had the Obama symbol on them. Now this post has nothing to do with Obama or McCain, it has to do with change. Millions of people voted for or chose "change" today, but I wonder if they have actually taken any steps to "change" themselves.

Unfortunately we are living in a country that contains millions of people who are dissatisfied with the way things are so they want someone to change things, both republicans and democrats, pro-lifer's and pro-choicer's. I think we could really see change if we decided to change ourselves. It is so much easier for us to ask someone else to change or to say we are voting for someone else to change and not actually go forward and do anything ourselves, yet still feel good about ourselves because we voted for the person who wants change...

Real change is real hard. It's not a cool slogan and it's not something that makes everything wonderful.
