Good for you Sue! I love the way your day ended too. It’s good to notice the small moments of doing exactly what we want.

It is very interesing you always choose topics on which some other writers hesitate to write so you

that is why you are my most favorite writer. Elections are over and who will be next POTUS expected to be announced soon. I am in favor of Kamala but American people are to decide it. Keep up writing!

Virtual hugs and kudos.

The great thing about an open mic night is that everyone involved understands the courage factor, and applauds the bravery to perform as much as the performance itself. As I say to my vocal students, half-joking, 'no guts, no glory' but the truth is, we do it for ourselves. Here's to small victories! And epic ones: go Blue!

Well done you! Sounds like you had a fab time. Living alone definitely has advantages as you point out!

This was so wholesome to read! Thank you for sharing. And yes, I’m feeling tense, too—I even published an extra post about voting just to keep myself busy!

Bravo, you go girl! As they say. Seriously bravo. As to watching the election results alone, I’m choosing to do that. I don’t know what feelings might come up, but my dog and cat comfort me very well. I don’t feel alone with these partners.

I can climb glacier covered mountains but doing what you did, NO! (Ha) I found Chill today when I went to Ray's.

I won't be climbing any mountains. :-) You can just come to Cafe Chill and listen.

Oh my gosh Sue, You badass you! I hadn't realised you play and sing...and then choosing not to sit alone, Gumption galore! Is there somewhere online I can listen to you, or could you share an audio file? It's touching to hear how you met Janey again.

Sending hugs

Way to go!!! I know how hard it is to push myself to do lots of things that I used to do socially, etc. I totally love your sharings! I can relate to so much! Happy Election Day!!! I am with my grand pup today; and after I drop her off; will visit my first housemate in Oregon; with whom I got through the 2016 election with; or my current housemate! I am way calmer today than I have been for days… it feels good.

Thanks, Shelby. I'm so glad the election is almost over. One way or the other, no more campaign ads.
