election day

i registered a few people to vote at work today, and it was beautiful. please note: im not registering the young eighteen year olds to vote, im registering the ol' folk. from age 65 and up. some of them were telling me today, that they never, EVER voted before (!).
and this year, they are hoping to make a change. elderly people, set in their ways, stubborn, content with everything, are registering to vote, to make a change. it blows my mind. it makes me so happy. some of them are new citizens, they are just learning the language, but are terribly anxious to vote for the first time.
no matter their story, they sign by the 'x' with a huge smile on their face and thank me. i know i have done them well.

if they are changing their ways, why cant you?
