My eyes usually trace the ground as I trudge up Madison Street to get my coffee from Donna’s, but this morning was different. Its Election Day! Although I cast my absentee ballot weeks ago (and, by the way, can’t those come with an “I Voted” sticker? I’m feeling left out!), I’m still feeling the excitement in the air. Citizens are fulfilling their civic duty by coming together at civic centers and school cafeterias and casting their votes. I walked with pride and optimism, eyes and heart up and out, looking forward to the nerves and anticipation as much as the thrill of the day.
Perhaps I’m projecting my own feelings, but I’d like to think that today the nation comes together as a community. I’d also like to think that we’ll continue the community-building that was created during this election—online, in living rooms and in cramped campaign offices—to truly progress as “We the people.”

Election day on Capitol Hill has been a MOVING experience! Everyone appeared to be out early. It's raining and cool now, but the lines are still apparent!
