I was afraid to put on the news this morning. Actually afraid, to find out who won the election. Usually I wake up excited and expectant. Hoping my guy won. Hoping the rest of the country saw things the same way I did. Instead I woke in fear. Burrowing under the covers and hoping today would dawn bright. Fearing it wouldn't.
Several times this morning I thought I would cry. Tears came to my eyes and I forced them back telling myself this was not something to cry about. They are not tears for a loss but tears that sprout from fear of what is to come. I tell myself I must learn to live with the results. There is no alternative.

I know exactly how you were feeling. As we had a live NBC feed to Australia, I sat with my eyes glued to the T.V. and also was tearful at moments with anticipation. I thought I must be cracking up to actually be crying and shut off the T.V., only to turn it off and on again over the next 5 hours.
Sigh. Now that it's all over, I am still incredulous. Sigh. If only those people in the Red would break out of their mold and see the rest of the world...
To a brighter note: I really enjoy your blog! Keep up the great writing.
