I really can't remember how long it's been since I felt this happy, this hopeful and this proud to be an American. I do remember that eight years ago I was furious and angry and for all these years I've felt pretty hopeless and fed up with our government.
But today was extraordinary, better than I could have ever imagined. President Barack Obama is the most inspiring leader in my lifetime and I feel so optimistic and excited about our future...no matter how long it takes to solve the difficult problems that we're facing.
And he's very attractive too, isn't he?
I love the blog post that Margaret and Helen wrote today (are you familiar with their blog?) It's fantastic. It's on my blog list and I suggest you read it.
And tonight I'm just dancing and partying in my living room.
Happy New Era! I look forward to tomorrow, when the new administrations announces the first actions of their agenda.

Wasn't it wonderful! His Inaugural address was a speech for grownups, and it was great to be treated like an adult instead of a spoiled brat.
what an amazing event...i couldn't believe it, but i kept tearing up...i've been so cynical these last 8 years, i didn't think i could be this moved. my first tears came on sunday when i saw 88 yr old Pete Seeger out there with his banjo (he was a hero of mine in my youth). well, let the change begin...
Yes, I absolutely loved seeing Pete Seeger too. He looked so happy! And Bruce Springsteen seemed delighted to be on the stage with him.
I teared up all day too. So emotional.
I wish I could be a fly on the wall in the Oval Office today.
Robin, I couldn't agree with you more. The day was filled with hope and inspiration and was nothing short of miraculous in every sense.
This is a new beginning for not only our country but for the world.
A great day that was historic, sober, inspirational and a strong message to the world that we are here and we are strong.
When Bush flew over the city in his helicopter for the last time, I couldn't help but sigh in relief waving good-bye to stupidity, greed, and public neglect.
thanks for the post
I cried on and off all day.
