Thank you for sharing your deepest fears and heartache here -- it's good to know that I'm not alone in the oft-despair I feel.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-13542650102409054142016-09-09T14:57:25.614-04:002016-09-09T14:57:25.614-04:00I know.

I felt panic and have been anxious ever since. I just want to go home. I woke up feeling okay this morning. Now I feel like there is broken glass in my brain and my soul. It's too much. <br />Sorry to add to your troubles. I think speaking and sharing helps some. To know you aren't alone.

Sadness and grief for the optimism I felt just a few short years ago.<br /><br />That being said, I also hold on to the thought that when it comes down to it, reasoned thinking will rule on November 8th.Linda dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01167854309289774316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-40729750401850191002016-09-09T09:28:12.917-04:002016-09-09T09:28:12.917-04:00I love that song!

I refuse to believe that this is the shape of things to come, that this is what the majority feels.<br />While we don't have a European Trump - yet - we have a resurgence of the mean spirited sense of entitlement. And I have to stop myself from looking down on it with disgust the way my mother would have done. I don't know how to react.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-73641178898672151652016-09-09T07:59:45.656-04:002016-09-09T07:59:45.656-04:00I'm in that life raft with you, Angella.

We don't hear about them as much, but they are there. However, it's truly scary what's been going on, and I don't feel as sure about all the good in the world lately. Let's hope some of his talk is just windbaggery and he becomes more sensible if he actually gets to a position of power.<br /><br />This is not helping, is it ...jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-34565943885041479792016-09-08T19:53:42.344-04:002016-09-08T19:53:42.344-04:00No, you are not alone.

It's just absolutely terrifying that this man is the Republican candidate for the presidency. And as you say- the implications are shattering. Because what this says about our fellow citizens is too horrible to contemplate.<br />You're not alone, dear friend. You are not. As always, here I am, holding your hand. Feel it? I hope so. Hang on.
