Happy Happy! By S.C. Wynne

Good morning all!

It has been a stressful time. My husband had hernia surgery and we had the mid-term elections. Both those things happened on the same day. I'm happy to say both turned out pretty well. My husband is on the mend and the election went as well as expected.

With the dems taking back the house, I finally feel a small glimmer of hope that maybe things in our country will move back toward a more sane direction. There has to be checks and balance in our system because for too long we've counted on the people in power doing the right thing. I don't think we can trust that anymore. I'm astounded by how little our representatives seemed to care about the will of the people these last two years. How can we have a democracy when our representatives only care about their donors?

I don't tend to talk about anything political on this blog, but I've been depressed ever since the antiquated Electoral College made it so that a person who received three million less votes took over the office of the presidency. I think a lot of us on the left have felt shell shocked at the level of lying and rudeness spewing from the White House. It's been terrifying to watch.

I truly hope our country can eventually get back to being respected by our allies. I really hope we can return to a more civil society. I definitely believe in the strength and inherent goodness of our country, and I trust we will get back on track.
