journaling:

November means 50,000 words in 30 days! I tried but maybe my writing mojo just isn’t there any longer. I tried doing a series of prompts as small vignettes, thinking it would save me from having to plot one long story line, but they all came out the same - emo and gloomy. Maybe next year; this year I lasted about a week. So disappointing, I used to be able to do this. Meh. Onward.

 

Dave’s birthday was Monday, but we had a special choir practice that night since our regular night was devoted to our annual meeting with the District Superintendent - Charge Conference. Sunday after church he and I went to brunch at O’Charley’s and it was yummy! After choir our director’s wife, Deb, made chocolate chip cookies for him. Those were yummy, too!

The rest of the week was taken up by the presidential election and all of the emotional fallout that ensued. Even though I suspected the outcome, I was stunned when it actually happened. I was so hopeful that we would have a woman in office, and in spite of what others think of her, I really like and respect Hillary Clinton. The fact that Donald Trump was elected downright scares me. I have friends who now fear for their lives and their jobs because of the open and rampant racism and hatred he has encouraged. I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

 

It brought tears to my eyes to see the tributes shared at the grave of Susan B. Anthony. I portrayed her in a scene in Opera Workshop in 1976 and had some emotional flashbacks to that this week. It will take time and a lot of prayer for me to be able to move past this, like many others that I know. So much hatred and fear. It’s going to be a long four years.

I'm with you Becky. The fear and hate unleashed has begen so hard to fathom and I am astounded that it has not been denounced or addressed. I too am having a hard time with it all -- as are so many I know who also are afraid for themselves and family. I often find myself at a total loss of words and so very sad.
