America has a new President... And, all day long I've been hoping to have a moment of quiet time to sit and reflect upon what this historic day means to me.
It's 10:00 PM... A typical Tuesday in a typical work week. I left the office late and arrived at the muni station only to find that the trains were delayed. Tomorrow will be a busy day...An important meeting with a new client... Lunch with a business colleague... Much to do!
Barack Obama is the 44th President of the USA!
There is change and hope in the air. You can feel it. It's like knowing the showers are coming because of the chill in the air and the way the breeze smells of rain. In the midst of all that is amiss in our country and in our world, we take pause to celebrate. We celebrate our collective faith in the leadership of a great man, a man who is like us, a man who has known the challenges of poverty, a man who believed in America's promise. Barack Obama has inspired a people--weary and dejected-- to raise our voices once again and to believe in the ideals of democracy.
Today is a day that will go down in history. Not only has the greatest country on Earth inaugurated her first African-American president, but the citizens of that same nation have also found a great unity. There is an overwhelming sense of synergy all about. You can literally feel it on the streets. This is a moment of serendipitous elation. As a nation, we have many challenges ahead. We will have to weather a multitude of storms. But, there is a mighty captain at the helm of our ship.
I have never felt such pride in being an American. My personal vote has never meant more to me. Today is a great day for President Barack Obama and for America!
Oh happy day! Talking 'bout a happy day!
