November 5 continued

We awoke to hear that Obama had won. I'm grateful. It was a landslide and a sweep of both houses. Now I hope the new broom sweeps clean. I hope that the aggressive media gives him the same chance they gave Bush. God help him!
I awoke with the frustration of a cold shower and a nosebleed. I know I need more time alone. Despite the minor irritations, I'm proud of myself for recognizing my own weaknesses and limits.
The trip back was not so interesting. I feel as if we are a stronger group. We are helpful and understanding of one another. We've been through a lot together. I appreciated two things today. We had some time to debrief with Bishop Ramos. We shared our mind and he shared his. He knows he has asked a lot from us. We know we have a lot of work to do. We'll see what happens. We also had time to debrief as a group. We have a lot to do but we also have to do it together.
We need to keep the goal in view. We need to use the gifts we all have. So I wonder, what's my job?
