Keep Being Good People

I got home from teaching last night at 10. Things weren’t looking good. Carter texted that she had a great day working the polls. The veteran polling ladies who have been doing it for years told her she a beacon of positivity. She was pumped from doing it even though it was a very long day. I hate for the light of that might be snuffed out. My heart breaks for the country we have made for young women.

I made the decision to take a big sleeping aid and get one last good nights sleep before I had to face reality. I woke up this morning to news that was no better in the light of day.

I am in shock. I don’t know who we are as Americans, but for this child of the 60’s it is a different America. Life has to go on and I had to get up and go to work. Not a word was said in my class this morning. No one brought up the subject. Since I didn’t know these women before yesterday I have no idea if they were happy or sad, except plenty of them were wearing black.

Tonight’s class are a much younger group of women. Many of whom made it clear yesterday they voted for Kamala. I hope they will be OK tonight.

Right now I just wish I could go to sleep, but life must go on. Hug your kids, take a walk, eat healthy food, be kind to one another. We don’t have to change who we are. Keep being good people.
