Weird to think that following the Republican convention in Milwaukee I had little hope for the political future of the U.S.A. Then, a month ago we were on vacation and had just learned Biden was dropping out and Harris was his hoped-for replacement. Then, two weeks ago, we all lost it in the greatest possible fashion as Kamala Harris announced her pick for Vice President.
And this week I find myself more hopeful for the future of my country than I thought was even possible at this stage of the game!
While I could do with a break from living in constantly "unprecedented times," at least this time the emotion this unprecedented time is filling me with is hope, instead of anxiety and despair. I'll take it!
Also, given how the last month has gone, I would argue we could all really benefit from an extremely truncated election season. Think of the difference it would make if most of our elected representatives could focus on doing their job instead of constantly campaigning to keep it!
