Today

Today was a hard one for me.

I did expect to wake up to different results & while I do respect opinions & views that differ with mine - I still find the whole thing baffling. 

My brain can't fully process...anything.

I don't believe walls are a solution. Walls are easy; building complex & mutually beneficial relationships is difficult &...presidential.

I believe America has always been great. A lot of other countries are great too & yep, there are a lot of parts of the US that are not so great - "great" is too easy - we need to be striving for better.

I feel like "easy" won today. 

I feel like hate won today. 

I feel like "because I have a lot of money, I can do whatever I want - but, oh! I can also totally relate to you" (ha!) won.

I am also a little relieved for Clinton because at least (maybe) she can have a bit of reprieve from all this craziness. It was also very clearly documented that if she won, she would be berated for the next four years (go, team...sigh). And I do believe that reprieve for a woman like Clinton can only mean good things, better things for this country's future. 

Do I think she'll ever run again? Probably not. But that doesn't mean she will not continue to fight for children, women, families & be a power of influence.

It ain't over!

And I really need a bagel, stat!
