A Look Back At November

On the night of Nov 5 2024, there was a moment when my excitement and happiness turned to anguish, disbelief and pain. Around 2am I found Dianne's Tarot on YouTube had just posted a live video broadcast that had reassurances about the election and that we would not really know who won for several months, that nothing would be settled for weeks, and that we should all do the things we needed to do to find comfort and taking care of ourselves. Her YouTube channel brought me comfort as did several others who said similar things about the months that would follow. As each deadline came and went, I still believed this wrong would be exposed, the truthful winner would be revealed, and we would have our President Harris.  That is what should have happened, and I believe it is what happened. Except for the cheating. Rampant cheating and no one to hold the cheaters accountable. I still shake my head in disbelief that he-who-I-shall-not-name sits on his throne, while grifters, cultists and sycophants of all stripes surround him and enable him, making sure they line their pockets every way they can.  
Such a dishonorable win can not be satisfying, and I do not believe this one is. 
Everyone knows the truth about the 2024 election, and there's only so long you can convince yourself that everything is okay. 
I began this post by saying that the psychics of YouTube brought me comfort and reassurances for months, until I realized that they were all wrong. None of them got it right, and only the ones who apologized are the ones who can still give comfort if that's what you're looking for. 
They were sincere and honest in their wanting to help people, but my interests and focus has changed.
I am finding my comforts elsewhere, I am finding my interests in my writing and crafts and doing what I can for the animals of the planet.    
Writing prompt: I find my interests often are in cycles of 8 months. Do you find cycles and patterns in your interests? 
Writing prompt: What were you passionate and inspired about last year?
Today I am grateful for old and new hobbies and interests.
Today I can give from my heart: reasoned maturity.
