I need to be calmed.
So as I am getting ready to take a bath for the rally today I am worried. I am leaving at 5:30am and I do not want to stand at a place I have never been. Do you think there will be other people because I do not want to be alone.

1. You'll never know until you get there.....
But I have this sneaking suspicion that there will be a WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE....especially after his debate performance.

2. I hope so.
I have a fear of going and being alone and not knowing where to go and getting confused. I have never been to this part of the city and I hope I don't get lost.

3. You will be fine. Think of it as something you are doing for your country and also as a
learning experience or as an adventure. Stay awake, follow the instructions of his people and all will be will. Heck, you may even have a lot of fun. Stranger things have happened.

5.  You will be okay. Focus on the result you want, not on what you fear.
If there is a rally scheduled, there will be others there.

Of course, if you see no one, you don't have to hang around. Just go there and check it out. If you see people who appear to be going to the rally and they seem friendly, go up and introduce yourself. You can even tell them how you worried you felt. I want to thank you for the time you're taking to take a stand for all of us. I will be thinking of you and wishing you the best.

You're doing it for a good cause. Keep that in mind, sweetie. You'll be okay.

11. You will be FINE!
I predict you will meet many helpful people! You will see many sympathtic faces, and people who will be more than willing to help.

I predict this with full confidence, even though my Magic 8 Ball is broken.

I also predict you will have a GREAT TIME!
