First: regardless of how you personally feel about the outcome of Tuesdays election (I for one am thrilled) you have got to be excited about the way the American public showed up and participated. Young, old, every color under the sun getting out there and (I believe) setting record numbers at the poles. That's incredible and has been really inspiring to me. I'm proud of my country and the way American citizens beat off that complacency that so easily overtakes us to participate and hope for a different country than the one we've got in front of us right now. My hope is that the passion that fueled this election will unite and inspire our country helping us become who we want to be.
Second: I've realized I can monitor my own personal deep-down happiness with three simple questions about my daily doings:
Am I singing?
Am I dancing?
Am I listening to music?
It doesn't mean that I set out a time for these things. It means I'm singing at the top of my lungs while driving, dancing down the hallway on the way to the kitchen and listening to music while doing homework even though it sometimes distracts me. These just seem to be the ways my joy takes form, becomes tangible. Good general information for me to know about myself.
Third: apparently it's November
