1. I love Granny D.
:loveya:

She is up there at the top of my list of living heros/heroines. And this article, when it came out, saddened me. Because, while there is a time and a season for everything, she is indicating that her time is nearly done. :cry:

On the night of November 2nd we will go to bed, and the next day the World will have gone one of two very different ways. I will be home in New Hampshire. And if it goes right, I will feel like resting. And I haven't felt like I could rest for a long while.

I hope my journey has resulted in some ideas that will be useful to you. I know you are dedicated to this better world we see ahead. It is not beyond our grasp.

"On the night of November 2nd we will go to bed, and the next day the World will have gone one of two very different ways. I will be home in New Hampshire. And if it goes right, I will feel like resting. And I haven't felt like I could rest for a long while."

12. what got to me
was in the opening where she acknowledges that her long journey is coming to an end... which ties into the lines you quote.

she's ready to rest but... wants to rest knowing the country is back on track.

she's wonderful!
