I went for a walk the other day (as I often do) and I have to tell you... The sunset was absolutely amazing!  I took a picture of it and you know what?!

  A Native American folktale from the Anishnabe people tells of a great river that was filled with many fish and such sweet water that all the animals came to its banks to drink from it.  When a giant moose heard about the river, he went there to drink from it. But the moose was so big and he drank so much of the river, that the water began to dry up.  The beavers were the first to worry.  "If the river disappeared, what would become of our lodges?"

  Well, today's the BIG day for us in the U.S.! We get to vote!  A right that many fought and died for...  I sincerely hope that you exercise that right today! === Have you ever wonder what the word Poll meant?

When votes were taken by gathering people together and counting heads, the place where this was done (sometimes an open field) was called the "polls". All of this focus on voting and the Presidency, had me thinking about the mindset a president has to have to lead a country... Especially in challenging times like today.  A Courageous... some might even say Fearless Mindset! And If you think times are tough now, you really need to study up on history! Think about the challenges that some of our past presidents faced?! Washington   lead us from a colony to a country.  Lincoln  had to  deal with civil war and slavery... and lost his life due to
