I am more hopefull since Obama won the election. People just need to remember that change is never easy and we all have a lot of work to do and there will be ups and downs.

I have too many deadlines, too little money, and a house that won't sell - But I will meet the deadlines, because I always do. . . I quit buying clothes, books and pretty much just pay bills - It actually isn't bad at all - kind of freeing. And Holy Cow, Obama was elected president! I don't think it is possible for someone like me who graduated high school in 1970 not to feel excited and ready to go to work! I am so proud of America!

I've noticed the stress,...and felt the frustration and uncertainty. To be honest I didn't vote for Obama, however I leave it in God's hands. I'm now excited, hopeful, and above all greatful for the things I do have. I have more now than I did before,..just not as much spending power. I've learned that cutting back you can still get things you want or need, you just have to spend wisely,..a lesson I am greatful I learned now before things could have gotten worse.

After reading the news and watching things on TV, I feel more grateful for the United States and the freedom we have. I am grateful for having a home, food, education, freedom of religion, freedom to travel, freedom of speech, and most of all....freedom to be myself!

If you haven't all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don't have that you wouldn't want.

I work with Special Ed children and their families. I am so very Grateful for this opportunity. I have learned so much from these children and their families over the past 10 years. I have learned that everyone can learn; no matter the circumstances or the depth of the disability. They have taught me that love and patience go a long way in life.

I've always been a saver, lived within my means. Now I feel like I'm going to have to pay for others mistakes.
