election day

Whew - election day is finally here.



This has been a very tough decision for me. I was mulling it over it my mind while I clomped along the gymnasium floor to the makeshift "voting booth". I continued to mull, as I picked up the pencil. There was a chair beside me, and I contemplated sitting down...not for balance or because I was tired, but because I just didn't know what to vote.



Typically, I rush to the booth, make a strong and confident "X" on the paper, and I'm outta there!



Not today.



Even as I walked away from the cardboard screen, and shoved my ballot in to the box...I wasn't sure of my decision. When in the car, I wondered if I could go back in, and announce that I had changed my mind, and needed another ballot.



What's done is done.
