We are on the eve of something truly amazing
I mean it. The next few hours will determine the next 4 years of this nation, possibly longer. The past 2 years of campaigning mean nothing now because the proof is in the pudding, either the advertisements and rallies have worked, or they haven't. There is the presidential election wherein we will either have the first black president, or, the first woman vice president (and I believe the oldest president). Change will come, as both nominees have chanted since their candidacy began, but as for which flavor, the next few hours will reveal.
In Washington, the biggie is the Death with Dignity initiative (I-1000). I feel like this is the biggest issue on the ballot; not to say things like HOV lanes and elderly health care providers aren't important, but in my mind, this is the issue that will truly change things in Washington. To those who are curious, I voted FOR Death with Dignity. I am, overall, a staunch pro-lifer. I am not, however, close minded to the beliefs of others. I believe in life, but do not deny death.
There is an electricity in the air that I have never felt. I feel like the hairs on the back of my neck are bristling (or maybe its the 5 cent coffee from Krispy Kreme).
Its odd, this entire election season I have been quite subdued. I've had my beliefs and ideas, but I have not gotten wrapped up in the whole ordeal like some. Yet now, I'm on edge. Maybe the excitement has finally caught up with me, or maybe its something else.
My final thoughts: Savor the moment. Right now, all there is is pure potential. Hope. Idealism. Desire. The next few years will yield upsets and disappointment; approval and disapproval; acceptance and rejection. But right now, its all about potential energy.
