I know I haven't been posting-- I think working deflated my will to be public
about anything for a while... but I thought I'd come back tonight to say,
officially... for the record...
That I feel optimistic.
My experience of the media this evening has been a rollercoaster-- from
campaign news (with opinions from such illustrious personalities as Erica Jong
and Warren Buffett) to watching the FDR "American Experience" to seeing British
Foreign Secretary David Miliband on Charlie Rose... let's just say I laughed, I
cried, I scowled, and I fell in love (but not necessarily in that order). In all,
though, as FDR said (and I will carelessly but respectfully paraphrase), I feel
things are on an upward trend.
The future looks bright, and following a friend's recent advice, I have opened a
little window in my heart to accept what may be.
So perhaps soon I will catch everyone up on the phenomenon of Margaret's
soccer games, Mitchell's deft use of the phrase "No way, Mom!", and all the rest.
