1. I went to Wal-mart to get ingredients for some of Nathan's favorite foods (he's coming to spend the day with me tomorrow!) and there was a palpable lightness in the air. People were smiling at each other. I asked one woman wearing a Black Lives Matter mask if she was happy, and she said, "Yes Mam, SO happy!"
2. I asked the greeter the same question and he beamed, "I am so happy!"
3. So I asked everyone wearing a give-away smile or mask or T-shirt: Are you happy this morning? And everyone lit up like holiday trees and candles. All of us early morning shoppers were sparkling together, hoping for something new.
4. A woman was getting out of her pick up truck smoking a cigarette--and she asked me how I felt this morning and I said "Euphoric!" and she threw down her cig and clapped her hands.
5. Percy at the drive-through window said she was thrilled, but Trump was a sore loser. I said, "Yes, as expected, but I don't plan to mention his name again."
6. I sent my first contribution to the senatorial candidates of Georgia--who could change the balance in Congress and take away the obstructionist power of the majority leader.
7. My family and all my friends are thrilled. This is a happy day for Democrats and the millions of Americans who voted for Joe and Kamala.
8. I read the writing of five writer friends and had a conversation with a friend I haven't seen in years.
9. And now am relaxed and peaceful after a Yoga Nidra class.
