So proud to be an American
I feel so proud to be an American today. Watching the Obamas actually get out of the armored car and walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to chants of Obama, Obama brought me to tears. And hearing that no arrests have thus far occurred during the inauguration makes me think that we really are experiencing a coming together as a country. Even Rick Warren's ( Read more... ) -

Art Class
So I've just finished my first painting class out at beautiful Laguna Gloria. The most interesting thing happened at my last class.I found out that one of my classmates is the owner of Tito's vodka.

Hope
For all the media out there who are coming out of their euphoria, let's not be under any illusions. Hope is never superficial! Harnessing our best hopes and dreams will be the key to making America the country we want it to be. Cynicism will never be able to accomplish what hope can.

Of course nothing changes immediately and we still have to deal with GW for the next 2 months, but we won the election. I'm so happy, its hard to find the words. For the first time last night, I allowed myself to listen to Obama speak. I just couldn't ( Read more... ) -
Waiting with bated breath
I feel a tension in my tummy, that wasn't really here yesterday. I know its the election and I'm trying very hard not to let it in. Keeping my shields up. I've had them up for over a year now out of a sense of self preservation. For you see, in 2000 and 2004, I let this feeling in and had months of misery because of it ( Read more... )
