Election Night

A group of us that have gathered for all of the debates over the last few months, gathered again last night to watch the election returns. There was an amazing sense of excitement for all of us. I have to admit, I went to bed late last night comforted in the idea that our country is continuing to grow and make such important strides- that our electoral college works and the people of the United States can ban together to be heard. I was comforted in the fact that my children will see that love, kindness, and acceptance can win over hatred and greed. This is what we talk about with Anne Grace every day. Even if we don't agree, we must listen and learn from one another. This is what I believe our country is all about -so many people coming from all over the world, such as my family from Germany to this land for freedom- freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to live peacefully, freedom to work hard and in return help those in need.
