Oh Happy Day!

Just back from watching the inauguration at a local cafe with lots of people from the neighborhoods surrounding campus. Husband and co-workers were also there. It was a great time. I can't count the number of times I ended up with tears in my eyes. The day all of a sudden feels brighter, the future seems lighter now that I know our 44th President is in office.

As friend CS said to Jff last night, what a relief to be finished with Bush before bringing a child into this world. This last weekend, husband and I talked a lot about what it will be like for our child to see an African-American President in office and to possibly only know that for the first eight (fingers crossed) of life. The way it should be.

Kind of like Ronald Reagan was to me while I was growing up, only much, much, much better. Oh Happy Day!
