I did something I never thought I’d do…

Quote of the day:

""Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow. Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime."" 

~W.E.B. Du Bois

I’m tired, my feet hurt, and I’m damp. There’s an ache in my lower back that won’t go away. Sleep keeps reminding me that I wasn’t very intimate with it last night, but my heart and my mind know why. I voted today. I voted for change. I was humbled by the experience. The idea of change, the possibility of major history being made took charge of my mind throughout the night. My heart forced my eyes to keep looking at the selections on the screen. A black man. You’re voting for a black man. I chuckled anxiously. Is this for real? Am I really here, doing this? Is my mother standing next to me doing the same thing? Is this a dream? Is someone about to slap me awake? Is it true? It was. It is. I just voted for Barack Obama. Forever a supporter of Hillary in my heart, but so extremely proud and humbled by the choice I made today. I hope you’re proud of your choice too. 

God Speed,

Future Mrs. Johnson
