Although the campaign was long, ugly, and mean-spirited, and the man I voted for was not sworn in today, my mind has been processing:
Some thoughts on Inauguration Day:
Blessed – to live in a country in which a peaceful change of leadership is normal and expected
Inspired – to be reminded that as an American I can become anything I want
Humbled – to realize that I am limited only by my own lack of vision or hard work
Motivated – to be a better citizen
Grateful – for the circumstances of my birth
things that make me happy 
Thanks for reminding me to be grateful! I’m a little jaded, living here in California where things aren’t alwasy so rosy. It was good to watch history being made today.
