Surprisingly, I didn't feel so gobsmacked this time. I believe in my heart of hearts that the Universe is unfolding exactly as it must, and all is well. I'm doing all the same self-care that you do, which I do every day, no matter what. This afternoon I did some drumming and chanting for the Little Dippers (a group of folks who stand neck-deep in the ocean for 15 minutes every day) at Hendrick's Head Beach on Southport until sunset, watching the crescent moon slip between the clouds. Then I went to an Open Mic at The Whale's Tale, had a non-alcoholic ginger beer and carrot cake, and sang along with some great local musicians. What a beautiful balmy night!
I needed your offering today. Yesterday I curled up into a ball metaphorically. Today I am doing left foot right foot. I have friends that voted R. My insides tell me to distance myself from them because our values are in dissonance. But that is also what separates us as a country. When I go to meetings I do not discuss politics. But maybe I need to be open to such discussions in other contexts. In any case I need to be respectful to all people even if I do not respect the values behind a political platform. Above all today I need to hear about keeping on keeping on. So, I thank you.
Left foot right foot is a good one. When I wrote this yesterday I was numb and in shock and did do all the things I mentioned. Today it's more tears and sadness. It's good to know we're still in this together.
Today, I’m angry at the folks who didn’t step out of their comfort zone and make calls, send texts, write letters or knock on doors to defeat him. Now that we’ve lost, folks are ready to fight. 🤦
Anger is understandable, Michael. If you are one of the ones who did step outside your comfort zone, that’s something to be proud of. I’m determined that we learn to support each other going forward because we’re all about to become a lot more uncomfortable. Glad you’re here. ❤️
It was a total shock that it swung to the right. Still processing it. I just can’t imagine another 4 years with him . . . again. 😞
I’m with you there, Joline! Be gentle with yourself as you process. ❤️

What a beautiful life we live, Kitty! Thanks for your perspective.
