(10,046 posts)take as signs. However, I do find myself worrying about the bad ones. So, I try to give.myself permission to be cautiously optimistic about the good ones.
Yesterday, I finally got it together to deposit my ballot I"d filled out over a week ago. As I walked out to my car to drive the ten minutes to the closest dropbox, a car was stopped near my driveway and someone had got out & was walking toward me.
Hardly anyone ever comes down into the woods at the end of our road. Unlike me, you may have guessed that the car was carrying canvassers.
When I figured that out I said, "OMG, I am just coming out to drive up town to deposit my ballot for Kamala!" In hindsight, not the most amazing coincidence in the world, but it felt positive!
There were three or four of them doing our small street. At least one of them down from NYC. I said I was a little depressed that the only sign on our street was for the other guy, and that we didn't really know our neighbors, but suspect they're all Trumpers.
She said that actually, from where we were standing, we could see the houses of a few of my neighbors who were for Kamala! I was very happy to hear that!
I thanked them profusely & invited them to come knock on my door if they needed a bathroom break or coffee. They didn't come by--probably too busy knocking on the doors they hadn't got to yet!
