Elected

We had an election (Canada did) on Monday.  It was stressful going in to it, for me and many others at least.

The results have resulted (uh... not good word usage, sorry, it's early as I type this!) in relief and congratulations from all over the world and I find myself wondering how those who are unhappy with the results feel about that?

I mean, I'm relieved by the results, if not thrilled by how divided we are as a country, politically at least....

These are weird days, and uncomfortable and frightening days.  I'm glad we were able to pull this off the way it went and that the world is breathing easier along with us.  But nothing is perfect, nothing is easy and we are all struggling and still dealing with the same stressors and pressures and what the actual heck weirdness from all that's going on out there.

But yeah, I felt myself relax a bit on election night when they projected the win that they did and then I had a nightmare that night that it went the other way while I was sleeping but then I woke up and it was still as projected.  But then I stressed about all the upset people and how we likely won't ever all get along or see quite eye to eye.  

Strange days.  Stranger than I remember. And I don't think that's a "I'm getting older" thing.  

(And yes, I'm trying to be respectful here of those who don't agree with me politically or ... socially? Sigh)
