hail to the chizzief!

Can you feel it? Can you see it? Can you hear it?
It’s Change. And to me, it’s palpable.
Listen, I’m a cynic. I’m not the most political gal on the planet. And for some time, I was absolutely sure that our country would see its demise in my lifetime. But today, I witnessed our lives change. We’re on a different course. And it MUST change.

The words PRESIDENT Obama (how freaking sweet is THAT?!) spoke so eloquently this afternoon continue to ring in my ears this evening. I am filled with a sense of pride, of duty and of that other magical word, hope.
I feel like I could write a dissertation at this point in regards to some points Prez Obama made in his address. But alas, I’ve had some wine, it’s getting late and words seem to fail me in writing about something so profound.
I urge everyone to actually read his speech. This man is a writer. His words MEAN something. They must. He is thoughtful and deliberate. He will lead.
I’m riding on a wave of inspiration. And I leave you with this:

This is the price and the promise of citizenship.

This is the source of our confidence — the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.

This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed — why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent Mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a 

local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.

And so it begins...
