There is an "I Voted" sticker stuck, face-up, to the bottom of the inside of my washing machine.
It's starting to get faded.
But I'm leaving it there for awhile.
I sense this wave of optimism in our country, from "both sides" - something that I don't remember feeling in a very long time.
I know that I am a naive and hopeful person, and tend towards the dreamy side, which is why I leave the worrying and the politics to the practical people most of the time.
When there is voting to be done, I read alot, look at things from as many sides as I can figure, and go with my gut.
Then I sort of...leave it in the hands of God and those more capable than me.
But this time I am loathe to let it go.
This time I voted, and I sat forward instead of sitting back.
I am, admittedly, naive and hopeful.
Honestly I really like this about myself.
Whoever we voted for, we are a part of the process, and a part of the results.
I'm trying to hang on to this feeling of newness and oneness we have as a country.
I don't want it to fade.
