Undivided
Today I woke up undivided and full of hope. I could not watch the election returns last night because the thought of waking to the same old divisive negative America was crushing me. For the first time in a long time I'm an American first, not a blue or red American, not a Democrat or Republican American just an American.
Today there is a new face of America on a new page in history. Everything is possible.
President elect Obama's acceptance speech.
Today we awake to the reality of a dream begun long ago. Change has been a long time coming.
What an Election Night it was! I was just emailing my son Josh, who lives
in Pittsburgh, when it was announced that Obama was projected to win
Pennsylvania. At that point, I felt it was over, and going to be a huge
victory for President-Elect Obama.
Congratulations, to you and to the USA! There was a straight choice between
the past and the future and America chose the future.
YES YOU CAN!!!
Yes, change is coming and I, for one, am so ready for it. Congratulations
to America.
This is a pivotal time in the life of the United States, where we can fall
as a superpower or take a new path to a brighter future. I understand your
pensiveness about the election. Black folks, in particular, have often
been disappointed by the racial history of this nation we love but doesn't
always show that love in return.
Catty!
Are we gonna get a Thanksgiving gem from you this week? ;]
better late than never I guess, in terms of me finally catching up with
you! I agree - morning after Election felt good - excellent vibes where I
work and people were very upbeat, which was a nice change of pace. And
Hillary for secretary of state...hmmmm....will that keep her out of any
future presidential races?
It truly was a beautiful speech. I cried through it and they were happy
tears. :) Hope you're doing well Catty. By the way, what are you making
for Thanksgiving and will you post photos? I like it when you cook. :)
