Hi it is a shorter than prefered journal I know..please be gentle with me
I suspect there are a few like me who frankly just find them selves at a loss for words during the course of the day, or like me just occassionaly tearing up at the thought of what just occurred and how the world has cheered.
I was one of them, those hargard looking ones still knocking doors till 7 pm Tuesday to GOTV..schlepping the lists..(finding incedentlly that absolutely every single person on the list had already voted..)arriving home glassy eyed tired between the real job and the one I do 40 hours a week for a living...I made it till the big anouncement around 11 pm about President elect Obama (I freaking love typing this) and fell asleep weeping, a grown up 42 year old big chunk of a man, tearing up like a 5 yr old with a skinned knee, too damned tired to get out in the street and scream in outright joy.
To have been out there with the people flipping out and pouring four fingered whiskey shots was a dream and alas only that..
So now I am at times just standing there in front of the tv or the laptop watching film clips of folks celebrating and I'm yelling and dancing with them laughing. Or just standing there at work in my low paying working class job just trying to get it to sink in to get the cerebellum to accept it fully...folks I am so stunned and soo unbelievably happy..and just feeling like a saw a ufo come down and drop off George Washingtington for a weekend in Vegas...blown away...
I guess I write this because I feel that there might be some here who feel the way I do..
Lastly, I am so freaking proud of this country just so damned proud.
just a quick thank you for your knindness and sharing in this feeling, I am in good company
