Today. Nov 9. 2016
This morning I woke up shaken from a literal nightmare that had nothing to do with the election. As the details of the nightmare became foggy and merely speckles of memory, the reality of what is ahead of us became overwhelming and unbearable. Then I kicked my feet a bit and felt the warmth of a giant sleeping dog whose perfectly timed breathing calmed me down, I rolled over and saw a sleeping Mike, hugged him tightly, remembering that he reassured me that everything would be okay, in spite of the bullshit. Today, I'm reminded of the blessings I have, that this country is in itself a blessing and that I can't let that be taken from me. Things didn't go my way, so I have to try harder, work harder, and fight for what I believe in. I'm embarrassed and ashamed of the choices we as a country have made, but I'm making it my goal to turn that into something positive and productive. No I don't want to move to Canada (they don't want us anyway, because now is the time our country need us to fight with integrity, intelligence, and most of all kindness and love.
