This year has been so frustrating to me so far. My year really goes from September to June then June to August. Anyway, the election has been disgusting, the outright lies make me sick. I have had trouble righting myself. This weekend I was at a OEA board meeting, and the schedule was rearranged so we could participate in the march. While it was a rainy mess, it was AMAZING. 100,000+ people, signs, chanting, yelling hooting and hollering. No arrests, imagine that? Pink hats, posters, vaginas, ovaries everywhere! Were there anti Trump signs, you bet. But some really creative, happy, lovely signs as well. The biggest protest/solidarity march ever! All over the world, from Antartica to Alaska, people marched. My hope in humanity has begun to mend. So many people that know that womens rights are human rights gives me rebelief in people. I will be vigilant, but I will have/maintain hope. I will step up to injustice and I will know its the right thing to do. But, hoho, was I sore.! My calves and feet really took a beating. So, so out of shape. So some work to do, creativity to create, fitness to have. 2017 better look out, I gained strength from this march!
