It’s a brand new day!

“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” – Barack Obama
Every TV in my house is turned on and tuned to the inauguration coverage. I don’t want to miss any of it. This morning, I listened to CNN’s special broadcast of Dr. Martin Luther King’s historic “I Have A Dream” speech. The line about being “judged by the content of our character” never fails to move and inspire me. I’ve always been proud to be an American, but this week I’m more proud and patriotic than ever. Watching people of all races gathered peacefully and exuberantly in Washington D.C., I am moved to tears. And I’m filled with renewed excitement and hope for this country — something I haven’t felt in a long time. – CL

Enjoy every moment tomorrow. I will be quietly celebrating, grateful for this chance to begin again.

I’m with you on the television watching
AND on feeling a renewed sense of optimism. I feel like our country can hold its head up in the world again.

Pam, I second your Amen!

Amen! It still feels a bit odd to here “President Obama.” Hard to believe that the Bush era is finally over.
