Stunned, overjoyed and humbled

My cynicism for and about my country has been silenced.

My capacity for hope has been rekindled.

I'm stunned -- just as I was when the Berlin Wall was chipped apart.

I'm overjoyed -- a majority of American people have spoken and wonder of wonders, I agree with them.

I'm humbled. Someone I had come to loathe, Senator John McCain, spoke words of conciliation and cooperation that I had thought outside of his purview. If he can go there, I cannot continue to hold him in such scorn.

Life is amazing.

So let me say "Thank you, American voters!" You've convinced me: Yes, we can!!
