I'm sitting at my desk fighting tears

[lizziegrace]

Hope is an amazing thing. The emotion is overwhelming. After 8 years of fighting for jobs, healthcare and just trying to survive, I'm about to see it change. We all are.

1. I'm doing the same, lizziegrace.

I'm about to step away from my computer in an attempt to get some work done. I foresee this lasting all of 5 minutes.

But sitting here, I keep swinging from giddy with excitement to nervous to emotional and back in matters of minutes.

[lizziegrace]

4. Good luck with that. ;-)

I pick up projects that require little time and little thought. I know I'm useless today. :)

2. I feel the same way.

I am going back and forth between laughing hysterically and crying. An emotional roller coaster !

3. What a ride, huh?

:)

We're so lucky this man is willing to take on the most important job in this country and lead us out of this mess. And give us hope.

5. I know - My eyes have been welling up all day -

drove three little old ladies to the polls this morning. They were so proud and happy to vote for Obama (and I was so proud and happy to be able to drive them!)

Hang in there lizziegrace - hope is on the way!

:)

7. It *is*

isn't it...

:bounce:


Good on you for driving them to the polls. I couldn't get the day off.

6. The emotion has been coming and going in waves.

I woke up anxious, mellowed out through the morning, got worked up again when I went to vote, and then calmed down while I was making my pie (!). Now, as poll closings are coming up, I'm getting a little tight in the throat.

It hasn't really been tension or stress just as much as the exhilaration waiting to break through. I don't want to let things loose until it's really true.

8. Me either.

"What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong just started playing on my iPod. It is. It really is a wonderful world...

:hug:

9. Last night I watched the American Prayer video, and

I just started balling my eyes out. Wow, hope, fear, elation, are some crazy emotions :silly:

[lizziegrace]

11. Can you post the link to the video?

I'm home now and don't care if I cry. ;)
