This has indeed been quite a day! I can't remember this positive feeling of community, coming together and history - certainly not around a recent presidential inauguration. I have had this smile on my face all day watching the events. And I can tell my friends are feeling the same way from the excited emails I've gotten all day. It's amazing to me that this country that was so divided, has pulled together and elected someone that, in our not so distant collective past, would have had to sit at the back of a bus or been banned from using the white only water fountain. The whole day was amazing and watching him take the oath of office made me tear up.
So hopefully, things will get better. This country is in bad shape with the recession, unemployment, and the uninsured. But for today the feeling of hope is too strong to wipe the smile off my face. And what else? Our new president is a fellow left handed person :-)
