Hope

I am pretty speechless right now, at 4:07 am in the morning, in London.  But, I am crying and in a bit of disbelief, because I think part of me was always afraid that it would all go wrong.  But it didn't and there is something to be said that our country now has its first non-white president, when 50 years ago many non-white folks were actively kept from voting.  And I think wherever you fall on the ideological divide this is progress in the best kind of way.  

So, this is what I have now: Happiness, tears, and hope.
