"We have a new President" my husband said as he opened the door for me to bring in the

groceries. I have never seen him so relaxed and smiling as he helped unpack a week's worth of food. Usually, it's such a thankless chore. But this morning he was just relieved.

He told me that it was announced while I was at the supermarket doing the weekly shopping. It's amazing how fast we both felt so much better. Like a heavy weight lifted off our backs.

But I was exhausted. The shopping trip, me with a hurting arthritic knee, had taken everything out of me.

I took a nap, got up and I feel relaxed and refreshed. Best nap I've had in four long years!

It's amazing.

My Facebook peeps are joyful.

it's like life is starting again after a cruel, hard winter, yet it is early November. I don't care. I'm just happy he's over and done with.

I'm glad you had a good nap. A good sleep can definitely be good medicine.
