Shawshank Redemption

My favorite quote from the title movie is “Hope is a good thing. It may be the best thing.”

Trump’s national health plan has been flushed down the toilet. In return, there is a bubbling up of that “good thing”: I feel hopeful for the first time in many months. Hopeful for my personal well being and hopeful for the sanctity of our society.

I did my happy dance. I laughed out loud. Today was a good day.

Not to be pre-mature or greedy, but… I want some more, please. On and on. “I just keep trying. And I smile when I feel like crying. On and on. On and on. On and on.”

Let the good, better, best times roll.

(I’m in such an up mood since the health care bill was killed.)
(Get it?) (Irony.)
