This is the day I picked myself up off the floor of political defeat.  I went to the ocean to decompress, to cry, to get myself together.

I walked down to the edge of the cliff to watch the water, storming and pounding the basalt that makes up the rocky shorelines of the Oregon Coast.  I said to myself, completely aware of how sappy it sounds, “Maybe the ocean is feeling our pain.” and then “Nope, the ocean is just the ocean.”

The ocean endures. So will I.

    Hang in there Sister. The storms will come, the storms will go, but we can anchor down and weather those storms. Storms can be scary and destructive but they can also be cleansing.

    I don’t understand why things went the way they did but that should spur us on to anchor together and face these storms. Like you said…regroup and recommit.

      I have hunches about why things went the way they did, but can’t undo what has been done. Thanks so much for your reply – it does help to know the good folk are out there, doesn’t it?
