It seems it's all about tactics in this election, and perhaps if we all tactically vote right then we might get to vote for who we want (and not waste a vote) next time. In our neck of the woods it's getting very complicated since the split vote against the conservatives is a very real (and imo scary) possibility.
My hubby and I had one of our monthly conversations the other day about chucking out the tele and for once I was against, saying that I really want to keep it to watch the election results coming in. If nothing else, this election has an exciting element of unpredictability to it..... and that in itself may get the electorate a bit more interested in politics or at the very least in voting. Perhaps the chenanigans of the expenses scandal, the recession and the Copenhagen debacle may have a positive longer term outcome somehow. Let's hope so.

Never work another day.....
“Find a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” Confucius...551 to 479 BC
I just found an interesting blogger Wayne Kehl; interesting for what he has to say, particularly about the above quote and because he lives in Prince George, British Columbia - a place I've always had a yen to visit since working in Vancouver 7 or 8 years ago. Anyhow, the quote and article resonated with me from an environmental angle since so much about becoming more environmentally aware puts us back in touch with our essence, with the earth and with being in tune with ourselves and everything around us. I am currently searching for my next "job", and since having children I am doing it in a different way from ever before. I am looking for something which enthuses me and doing my utmost to turn it into something which I get paid for. I hesitate to call it work, since I will remain enthusiastic and really enjoy what I do. So far, I'm enjoying myself, and not getting paid much.... things will change on that front. The way forward for us and our environment is both exciting and challenging; out of it all though I am confident that we will find better, more satisfying lives where we are passionate about what we do.
