Our lives will change today.
Tags:One of the most amazing things I am facing right now is that, regardless of the outcome, our lives will be changed today in a big way. How often do you really know that your life will change? I was emailing with my friend Florence and she commented, "generally you can feel change coming and kinda creeping up on you - it's not often really such a tangible something." I am anxious. I am excited. I am trying to keep it all in perspective and know that whatever happens it will be for something good.
Thank you for so many supportive emails over the last few months regarding the election. One that I really appreciated came this morning from Beth who wrote,
So what's happening right now? It is 8:30am and Chris is out waving signs in the pouring (seriously pouring) rain in one area of our community. After that he will be back on the phones encouraging last minute voters to turn in their ballots. Tonight we will gather at the Lane County Fairgrounds where the returns will begin being announced at 8pm (pacific time).
I am planning to have updates throughout the night here on my blog. My sister also found this site which will begin having results posted after 8pm pacific.
Stay tuned.

I thought of you and your family and I stood in line to vote today. I thought of all the other millions of Americans doing the same exact thing.
Making their voice heard and wanting change.

As the hours til results time inch closer I am thinking of your family and community. We may be an hour away but I know that you will make a difference not just for your community but for Oregon. Remember that the work you have already done is ensuring that the children in our state have a greater future.
Enjoy this evening and remember every moment.

How I ended up on this site excatly 2 hrs before the end of the ballot day is a long, coincidental story, but....my thoughts are with you both! I am sure you are elated, exhausted, and everything in between. Embrace and enjoy this rare moment of uncertainty:) Best wishes!
