I am always involved and have strong feelings but I am totally surprised at myself that I have felt such a huge sense of sadness and loss. I will not be voting for McCain, in spite of threats to do so on some of the other threads. But I still have some time to come to a place where I can vote for Obama without sobbing and maybe others are feeling like I do.
BTW this has been rather cathartic for me. Thanks for listening. Next time I want a couch to lay on. And a large box of tissues...lol.. |
Ah, I think I understand. I felt the same way about my candidate and swore I wouldn't vote for Senator Clinton if she won but I knew in my heart I would reach the point where I could and would. Such historic choices and rotten timing that "we" had to make the choice of one or the other.
On a lighter note, I'm still searching for a companion for the "man in the hat" picture for your collection.
