I am ecstatic, overjoyed, and over the freaking moon about the election results. I am proud of our country. Proud for so many reasons and definitely proud as being the mother of two biracial little boys.
We did it! Yes, we can and yes, we did!
Know what else I'm proud of?
Me! Because even though "celebratory eating" has been my 'thang' in the past, I didn't do it. Though I really wanted to raise an Almond Joy high in the air in a toast to Barack and the Democratic party, I resisted. Even when my brother called and told me they were feasting on celebratory pina coladas, I managed to keep myself from running to the kitchen and pulling out the coconut rum.
Instead of letting my SHEER JOY out in food, I rocked my precious baby to sleep secure the knowlege that he can do anything and be anything he wants to be.
That feeling, my friends, is better than the 5-minute high than any chocolate bar will ever give me.
