I wanted to document my thoughts on this historic day, not only to share with others, but have it recorded in my journal.
I am trying to be optimistic about the promised changes our new president will try to implement in our country over the next several years. I hope they will take place over the course of time and peoples lives change for the better. I am also a bit emotional about our first African American president. The idealist in me feels some sort of victory that we as a nation are headed in a direction that considers all races (and genders) to be candidates for any position. I am excited to see what the future holds for our country. I would hope the million plus people that stood on the steps today is a good indication of us coming together to better our nation.

Awh you are an Obama girl. I should send you the "I've got a crush on Obama" ring tone.
Amen to that Suzie. I too will be optimistic until I see otherwise. We need to all come together in this country for it to succeed.
Believe it or not, I was also very emotional that day. I could feel the historic significance and I honestly think he is a wonderful man. I hope he can make a difference to the unity in this country. I'm excited to see how it all plays out.
Oh yeah baby! It was a happy day.
