I was tagged by my friend Annie (who was tagged by another blogger who was tagged by another blogger) to write about unity. Since I’m blogging every day for Nablopomo, I’ll take any ideas I can get!
I truly hope that as a country we can become more united. Election campaigns are designed to divide us. It seems that many people have moved so far to the right or left that there is little hope left for meeting in the middle. I don’t discuss politics on this blog, mostly because long ago I learned to describe my political self as a “flaming moderate.” I have since realized that I lean more to one side of center on most issues, but that doesn’t mean I blast those who lean (or bend over backwards the other way).
Both candidates made gracious, unity-oriented speeches on Tuesday night. I’m always a little skeptical of such speeches after all the finger-pointing during the campaign, but let’s take a cue from them and try to put aside our differences as we deal with the many crises facing our nation and world.
I’m not much of a tagger, but if you have something to say on the subject of unity, I’d love to hear it! Tell me, and I can add an update with a link to your post.

I could not agree with you more – with all of the challenges facing the entire country, we need to work together and stop the sniping and lack of respect for others’ opinions.
