I Am Proud to be an American

I normally avoid politics on my blog but I am overwhelmed with pride in this country.  We can hold our head up high.  No matter your political persuasion, we have been a part of history tonight, we rose up and looked past race, past difference, past one of the most painful parts of our history.  This doesn't fix everything but it sure is a massive surge of Hope.

    Hey Michelle,

    That feeling of hope for the future is widespread and there was definitely a lot of emotion and happiness in Australia today as the news broke!

    I agree! A great day in history, and I'm glad my kids were able to 'understand' the full scope of what was truly happening, and what this could mean for our country!

    That's the truth, sister! We did good! I voted early, waved signs after that, then cried through his speech. What a wonderful feeling. Change is brewing.
