Blue state

Last night the state I was born in went blue (Colorado) and the state I live in went blue. That was a first for me. I'm very happy to be in a blue state. I cried a little when the election results came in at 11 pm eastern time. Tears of disbelief and joy. As much as I've hoped for this day and campaigned and volunteered for this day, I didn't really believe it would happen. Call me jaded, but I thought the Reps would find a way to steal it. In any case, this is a new day and provides a new dream for many people who had never had this chance before. There will be a whole different kind of presidential portrait. There will be a different kind of first family. I can only rejoice and pray that he is well protected and that, along with all his other advisors, he allows God to guide. I'm very excited, and that's all I'll say. For now.
