Election Hangover (not just from alcohol)

I really couldn't have said it better myself. After two years, so much debate, so much arguing, so many candidates, so many jokes, worries, predictions, and wishes, I'm having a little trouble knowing what to do with myself today.
There was one thing that I hoped both candidates would have said in their speeches last night but didn't (or didn't really). So I'll say it here.....
Take all this energy, all this passion, all these ideas, and all your vision, and keep using it! Keep thinking and talking about the kind of country and society you want to live in. Be active in your community and call/write/e-mail your Senators and Congresspeople. Vote with your dollars and your time in every decision you make. Shape the world you live in. Don't wait until 2015 to get all worked up again....
