Here we are...Election Eve... as many times as Ive been through this, theres always a feeling of excitement, nervousness, and just general exhaustion. More than ever, I am grateful to (almost) everyone - even those who I dont necessarily agree with or support - who is willing to get involved in the process and put themselves out there for public scrutiny and discussion, much of it anonymous and sometimes hateful, and who continue to try, in their own way, to improve the community in which we all live. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Teddy Roosevelt
