What can I say here that isn't being said by hopeful and happy people around the world today? Not much I guess.
I just know that for the first time- ever I feel as if we as a country, have done something right.
I cried last night.
It was the second time in my 35 years that an election has made me do so. The first time that I cried was when Jimmy Carter lost his second term. I was young. I loved him. I was worried that he wouldn't be able to buy groceries or have a place to live.
Last night I cried because I wanted so badly for this country to turn out and vote and make their voices heard and we did.
I know that Obama is just a man and that he won't be able to fix everything. For me this election was about choosing a REAL person, and a person who MAKES SENSE when he speaks.
I was so happy to tell Evelyn this morning that Whoa-bamma (as she calls him) is going to be our President. I am anxious to see how things will go from here.

Me too. I feel hopeful for the first time in a long while.
PS. Totally off topic... but my spam word is "oreryt". All I saw when I looked at it was "Oreo, right?" A sign from the universe that I need a snack maybe? LOL!
