Bleak

I have no words, and yet so many words, to express how I am feeling.  But rather than try to organize those words and my thoughts coherently, let me share some of Anne Lamott's words, from one of her books, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith:

"Hope is not about proving anything.  It's about choosing to believe this one thing, that love is bigger than any grim, bleak shit anyone can throw at us."

Please tell someone that you love them today - people, pets, the air, trees.  It will always be more important than anything else.

Meanwhile, I hope this will at least make you smile.  I call this "The Ridiculous Trinity" and it's on my windowsill in my office. 

Take care of yourselves.  I'll be back again tomorrow.

VOTE

Today is Election Day here in the U.S.  If you have not taken advantage of early voting, or you live in a state like Pennsylvania, where it is not available, get yourself to your polling place and VOTE!!!

Democrat?

 Independent or Third Party?

Republican?

JUST VOTE

People have died - and still do - for the right to vote.  This year it's especially important, since we are electing a new President.  And though of course I'd like if if everyone voted the same way I did, what I really want is for people to just VOTE.

Off the soapbox now.  :-)
