It's 3:00 AM and I am wide awake.

I woke at 1:00 unable to go back to sleep. I think this crazy election is weighing on my mind. It should never have been this close. For most of these past two hours. I have perused the news, and of course, nothing has changed since I went to bed. While I believe the outcome is inevitable at this point; Biden continues to gain ground in the battleground states, I refuse to let my hopes get strong until we have a certain unequivocal finale. There are just too many ballots still out, uncounted, and this race is so close anything is still possible. Maybe tomorrow, we will see a winner declared, but I fear it will be next week sometime. I saw a remark by a Scottish politician last night that I love, "... a wee bit of light is peeking out of the clouds." This election has been one for the record books in so many ways, The winner will have the distinct honor of having received more votes than any politician in the history of the United States. It says a lot that people who normally do not vote found themselves motivated to get up and get out there and make their voices heard. For people in these battleground states, they are getting to see how important their one vote really is. For the rest of us, it is a strong reminder that when we get our minds together we can move mountains. Well good night world, I am going to try again to get some sleep.
