Each time, the fact that as a citizen I have a vote is an awesome realization. Going to the polls – in my district in the City – in a school and seeing all the various faces that make up this populous brings an emotional welling to my throat. This morning I stood next to one of my neighbors. How coincidental is that. I just want to linger, inside and out and soak it all up. The volunteers of all colors and shapes who make certain that it works within the system. The volunteers of all colors and shapes who make certain that my vote counts. What an achievement this single act of citizenship is.
i did not get a sticker to display on my lapel that I had voted. By 11 am they were long gone as there had been such a turnout already to vote. YES!
By the time you read this. I hope to be celebrating!
