I am extremely stressed about the elections. We've talked about it to some degree every session for the last couple weeks. It's moved some from the stress of actual election to the stress of what will happen if there isn't a landslide by one side or the other. I am handling it by talking about it a lot. My wife and I talk about it a fair amount as well. She too is stressed. Overall, I don't think I'm handling it that great as I cycle between hope and despair and many feelings between around the topic. I don't really see a good way forward for us regardless of who wins. I'm not sure how we reconcile things between what appears to be 2 significantly different belief systems. I guess a part of me still believes or hopes that the majority of us are not that different if we were to take the parties and figure heads out of the picture and are able to talk about issues/topics specifically.
