Today is my 2-year anniversary here
10,000+ posts later.
Shared laughter, shared tears.
More than once I wanted to walk away.
Today makes it worth it that I stayed.
I sincerely didn't think that we would be in power today without tanks rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue taking it back.
I had lost my faith in my fellow Americans.
Even though my state still is in a Republican stranglehold, it seems to be loosening up.
Congratulations DU. This one is for YOU.

THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'
by Bob Dylan

Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters Around you have grown
And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who That it's namin'.
For the loser now Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled |
There's a battle outside And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land
And don't criticize What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command
Your old road is Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn The curse it is cast
The slow one now Will later be fast
As the present now Will later be past
The order is Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

3. Happy anniversary! I always enjoy reading your posts.
Actually, we're celebrating 2 years together. I'm just about 2,000 posts behind you, though. :)
