A late night for us [Since we're old grownups who have jobs and cannot stay up past 11 pm and function for the mornings] as we watch the ending of another Presidential Election race.
No matter what either of our beliefs our [Because while similar, they still contain a multitude of differences] its incredible to know that no tanks, bombs, wars, riots, etc. broke out because of the election last night. That we peaceably accept the outcome of the election. Furthermore, its incredibly humbling that we get to vote and know that our vote gets counted. And that I, as a woman, can go vote without worry of being jailed, beaten or oppressed for doing so.
I am humbled by the fact that we get to live the United States, when we have been so many places where the last paragraph is not a reality. We get to live a good life - even when we disagree with the politics of our nation, we enjoy freedoms so many others do not.
Including the right to not be judged for eating leftovers three times this week.
I love you,
Your New Wife.
