Women Over 40 Rock!

It’s over, I’m a realist and I get it that Hillary will not be the democratic nominee. I’m the gal that not too long ago did the blog SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME LET GO OF HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate so much the responses I received, thank you.

This may be a bit odd but I have decided to answer my own blog. Now normally “The Women Over 40 Rock” blog from In the Trenches Productions isn’t a political site but since it wants women over 40 to succeed in their endeavors, I thought this could be a slight exception. After all Hillary is a woman, she is over 40, and she is truly succeeding in her endeavors.

To answer my own blog, it’s simply this—SHE DID NOT GIVE UP EVEN WHEN THE OBSTACLES WERE GREAT, UNTIL THERE WAS NO OTHER RESPONSIBLE OPTION. To be political for just a moment, I was upset in 2000 when Al Gore, and some of his advisors, didn’t fight until the very end in Florida. (check out HBO’s RECOUNT if you haven’t already done so). Then there was John Kerry giving up too early in Ohio in 2004 when there were so many irregularities in the voting there that were being reported. (and which since have been proven to be true and would have changed the course of history). These are examples of quitting too soon. I believe that for the most part women just try harder, they have too. Women have to fight hard when they are told they can’t get the job they want, the health care they need, the lifestyle they desire, or what is best for their child. (does anyone fight harder than a Mother to get what is necessary for her child when it has been denied? I don’t think so).

So, right or wrong, I loved her spunk. I loved Hillary’s will to fight on,against all odds, to get what she wanted. That’s what we all need to do—in big things and little things. Us gals can’t give up just because what we want is hard or that we have been told that we can’t have it. I know this isn’t easy and I myself am rarely successful but Hillary has been a good example for me, and I hope for you too. So, LET US ALL FIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!
