Feeling the wave.

Good Monday morning. I’m feeling good this morning because I’m feeling the wave – the big blue wave.

I have finally gotten to a place on social media where just about all my friends and the groups I follow are supporters of the blue wave, and the need for change, and are working hard to make it happen. I’m guessing those who don’t agree with me have temporarily unfriended me or are staying quiet. So, thank you to them. You have given me more peace as I scroll and as I read what is popping up on my timeline.

I don’t want to deceive myself because I know there are a lot of Trump supporters out there and I know they will show up at the polls. I know they are not going to change their minds between then and now. If they haven’t changed in 4 years it just isn’t going to happen.

But, I’m optimistic. Today I’m feeling hopeful. I’m feeling that the craziness of 2020 has given lots of like-minded people who have had enough – really have had enough – reason to go vote.

The years of bad-mouthing, and demeaning through tweets are almost over. The years of being laughed at around the world will be gone. The years of pettiness, and egotistical rants – gone. The years of comparing crowd sizes, and ignoring basic health issues, and dis-respecting the office. Gone. Good bye. A moral country will win in the end.

Maybe the untimely death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg has made the blue wave even bigger and stronger. I hope it is true – and that this election will be a legacy for her. And for Rep. John Lewis. And for Black Lives Matter.

Don’t get me wrong…

I’m going to keep on working for a blue wave so big that nobody can rightly ignore it, or call it fake, or question the validity of the vote. I pray that election night is a statement – of all the good in America, of stopping the deterioration of the laws of the land. I never want to feel like I felt in the evening of the last national election. My heart and soul hurting so much – and questioning who we are. A huge hole opened in me that night.

So, come on blue wave! Let’s not take any vote for granted. Don’t assume your vote will not count. Don’t give in – or give up. Because… I feel the wave a coming!

I can’t want to see a monster wave wash over this land!

We can do it.
