pipistrellafelixJust in case I don't get online on my laptop tomorrow, just in case I am too carried away by the joy of the Inauguration festivities & forget to post about it, I'll do it early.
I am SO THRILLED that, starting tomorrow, I will be a citizen of a country with a president I respect. I am more excited than I can tell you that, starting tomorrow, when my president's voice comes on the radio, I will smile instead of cringe. That we can finally hear him introduced as "President Obama" instead of "President-elect." (Though I've noticed some people on NPR slip up & call him President more than once. We're just so ready, is all.) I am so proud that I finally feel like I can respect & follow & civilly agree or disagree with my government. (& that there's a first family I totally want to be friends with!)
Mr. Obama, you have a lot of hopes and expectations riding on you. But you know what? I think you'll do just fine.
Anyone who isn't happy about tomorrow, we can have our discourse later. For now, I say to you:
(I don't know who to credit for this--it's not me--but I adore it.)
