Mr. senseandsensibility is a liberal's liberal and a much better human being than I could ever be. He taught me to be a liberal and a progressive. For him, it comes from the heart, not the head. He is different than me in many ways, and consumes almost no political content because he doesn't see the point. He knows the truth and he knows what's right. This morning he shared his favorite hymn with me "Oh Happy Day" on youtube because I said that I couldn't place it. Beautiful. That's my guy. He may look like the average white trump dude, but he is the exact opposite, and I am so lucky to have him.

So you may be thinking, what's the point? That is if you're still reading this. Well. my hubby is HAPPY. He's optimistic. He knows about the results in VA last night and the AP-NORC poll that shows trump's approval at twenty two percent with Independents from yesterday (how could he not? He lives with me) and he's HAPPY ABOUT that.

So you know what? I'm taking a page from his book and allowing myself to feel that way too. Anyone want to join me?
