I decided to name my blog "Acceptance" because I'm having a little bit of trouble with that recently. Today I watched from my front door as a couple of teenagers stole the Obama sign from my front yard. As I ran after them yelling, I was infuriated and couldn't help but wonder what type of a person would do such a thing. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it really was to me. I have a really hard time understanding people who show no respect. I respect you and your beliefs, why would you be so horrible and steal my expression of those beliefs. Ever heard of Freedom of Speech? You know...the constitution- the thing you hold so dear and supposedly live your life by? Specifically The Bill of Rights. Whatever happened to that?
Anyways, I need to let go of this and accept the fact that it happened. And send out love and acceptance for those kids who thought they were so cool for stealing a freaking yard sign.
Thats why I'm doing this. So I can reflect on my days and experiences and practice acceptance at any chance I get.

Marissa got a blog! Yay! I will link you on mine. :)
I'm sorry about your sign. That really sucks. I don't mean it just because I'm an Obama supporter, either. It's just a really cowardly thing to do. It kind of reflects negatively on the mindsets of those who are doing the stealing. Are these the kind of people voting for McCain? Or even if it was a McCain sign stolen instead, are these the kind of people voting for Obama? Etc, etc. Oh well. People are assholes.
