Bluebird of Happiness

Who among us is not at a loss for words? Tears pour out. Tears of joy. Tears of relief. A stunning, whopping landslide of hope in a time of deep despair.

Michael Moore

I dreamed last night that a male eastern bluebird came hopping right up to my feet where I was sitting on my porch. I was amazed and delighted! I can count the times I've seen bluebirds on one hand, and I'd never had one come this close to me. It looked so sweet and beautiful. Immediately I feared for it's safety - I grabbed one of my cats who was already prowling around and called to my husband to come help round up the other cats and put them in the house. The dream ended with the bluebird sitting still on the porch and Garry and I scrambling to get those cats indoors.

I pray for Obama's safety.

Hallelujah!

This is my way of going door to door. I voted absentee last Thursday right here in Portland at City Hall, and I had to wait about an hour. It feels good to have it DONE. I read in the Sunday paper that over 160,000 Mainers have voted early! And 42% of them are Democrats. Get up early tomorrow, pack a snack, and get in line. It's going to be a record breaking turnout everywhere!

Happy November!

Don't forget to set your clocks back an hour, and have a great weekend!
