Today is Super Tuesday and voting in Georgia for the Presidential Primary. I love Election Day; to me it feels like a Holiday and Game Day and Race Day and my Birthday all rolled into one.
Yes, I am a supreme geek.
On my 2 mile drive to work I saw two - count them, two - groups of enthusiastic supporters for my candidate (I mailed my ballot weeks ago to St. Simons). I honked, flashed lights, waved, they waved back and cheered WOO HOOOOs.
It made me spontaneously cry, and I am not kidding.
Because no matter what happens...no matter who I vote for...no matter who anyone votes for...in a few months...there is one truth.
One truth which I cling to.
One truth that now serves as my light out of this tunnel.
In a few months we will have elected a new President of these United States.
And this gives me hope and a lightness of heart that I haven't felt since I went to bed on the couch very very late on November 7, 2000. I awoke at 3am to a very, very changed world. The gravity of that moment has continued to gain weight on my heart since then. I am ready to shed it!
