What a great day to be an American.
Honestly, I think that pretty much sums it up, and yet, I feel like I need to say more.
I was listening to NPR's coverage of the inaugural celebration this morning & it was mentioned several times how this is a peaceful transition of power. This is a special day for many reasons - the swearing in of the first African American President, the end of the Bush era, a fresh beginning and a challenge to the American people to wake up and get busy. With all of that going on, and all of us swimming in history, it's easy to loose sight of what today really is - a PEACEFUL transition. We are so blessed to live in a country where our new President was elected democratically, rather than through a military take over of the White House. We are blessed to live in a country where we are united in hope for the new administration & a new day in American politics, rather than united in fear of a new ruler. We are blessed to live in a country where we can wave a flag, say a prayer, and join together as people of all color and creed - as Americans.
Amen......
Hallelujah......
Close enough.
