Thank you so much for the lovely heart!

Having had my own heart thoroughly broken by the results in Nov 2016, but encouraged by the Women's Marches in 2017 and 2018 (in which I participated) - as well as by all the recent Dem election successes and the wonderful women candidates putting themselves forward in 2018, I haven't been on DU too much lately.

I was thus delighted to receive a heart from some wonderful person sometime in the past couple days. Thank you for making my day!

I've been traveling since Sat night and am now returned to my Trump-less Swiss haven, where I refuse to listen to or watch any news program that mentions his name.

My reading material on my flight eastward was the wonderful 2016 novel, "The Underground Railroad," by Colson Whitehead.
If you haven't read it, please do.
