Last night I felt as though I was going to have a heart attack watching the close Presidential Election.
By the end of the night...I watched our current President of the United States get re-elected.
I also saw laws get passed in many states that made me feel sick to my stomach.
I had a deep pit-in-the-stomach-ache all night.
I was so anxious.. I had a hard time sleeping.
I was so anxious.. I had a hard time sleeping.
I have never felt so passionately about an election.
My kids also -- watched with much anticipation... and heavy hearts.
I was surprised at how much they have wanted to follow this election too.

I woke up this morning wishing that last night was just a terrible nightmare... but instead found -- that it was very much a true reality. After so many votes, prayers and hopes---Mitt Romney will not be our President of the United States.
Mitt's speech last night was nothing short of amazing.
He looked Presidential. He showed class. He was positive, Thankful and expressed hope for our Nation. I was proud to have voted for such a man.
I am grieving today.
When you feel as passionate about things like this -- such as I do.. bad news takes processing and time to heal. Right now.. I feel sad and mad.
And it's OK.
Today I am Grateful for:
The Scriptures. They have brought me comfort today.
Especially Helaman 5:2 and Mosiah 29: 25-27.
Our President of the church -- Thomas S. Monson.
" Who will guide us in these latter days."
Mitt Romney's example. I hope to meet him one day.
Preparedness. Onward... ever onward.
I held back and only deleted 2 people on Facebook last night.. when I wanted to delete 6 friends and family members who were preaching "Forward."
All I can think of is "Forward to Hell!"
Forgive me. I need some space. Tread lightly.
Seriously.

Lightly treading and nodding in agreement. I fell asleep before Mitt's concession speech, so when I woke up this morning, I was praying to hear that a miracle had happened and that votes were counted wrong and that Mitt was indeed our President.
Still under the covers today, and sadly still crying. I'mma give it a day and then I'll put my big girl panties back on and get out of bed. But for now, it's okay to be sad and mad. And in my case, a little bitter.
My thoughts and feelings are being shared. Strength in numbers? Misery loves company? I couldn't sleep either...watched cooking shows at 2 am while I did my morning exercises. There is no explanation, but still I cleaned my house, baked my 4 loaves of bread. We know there is a God, and He loves us, always. He has a Plan, and we know where we are going. I am, more than ever, so thankful that Mitt was the man he was. He showed what love of family, of God, of others is. He demonstrated integrity. We have witnessed the greatest public example of good. So, while I am so sad, still I am glad he is who he is...and everyone saw it!
I am choosing to take this as a sign that I will be seeing my Savior sooner than later. I have felt the second coming closer and closer lately with Temple work being 24 hours a day and time speeding up.
I know one of the sings is the government needs to fall I believe this is happening.
I also believe Mitt Romney did the world a service and was doing the Lords work by running for president he was able to spread the gospels light to the nation.
Altho I am sad about the direction our Government and world is going I am also excited and more aware of the things I need to do to prepare my self and my children for the coming of our savior. I am also excited that I am one step closer to holding my son again perfect reserected from death.
Ann you described how I feel exactly! I am so sad and depressed! I feel like there is no hope in the country and people! I just don't understand or get it...I'm sure I'll get over it but I'm just bitter today. No love!!
I am grieving too. Like, my family is scared to be near me because they aren't sure what to do with me.
Forward to Hell? AMEN, SISTER!
Hugs and loves.
Wow, you don't hold back, do you - and that's what I love about you. What a blessing it is that we live in a country where we can vote our conscience and still have "free" elections.
I love the advice the church gave "Pray for our president and country."
Love you!
It is such a bummer!!
