You can’t help but notice how crazy these recent elections have been and how much horrible negativity and mudslinging has gone on.  Even outside of the realm of those trying to get newly elected or re-elected it seems that people are lining up, taking sides, being mean and outright illogical.  SO, I have to say THANK YOU to all the bloggers out there that give me a brief respite in the day when I can take a deep breath, look at something beautiful, and let my mind wander. 

We have to stay engaged with the down and dirty of the everyday in order to keep our households and our nation functioning, but for me and for a lot of people out there, creativity is our life force.  Politics and government may provide sustenance, but beauty and creativity give the much needed flavor and spice.  So here’s to flavor country!
