I haven't been a diligent blogger as of late. While I have much to say about many things, I don't have much to say that I have felt like sharing lately.
Until today.
And so even though I am really not in the mood to post tonight, I am compelled to write this for moments like this are truly once in a lifetime. On Tuesday, January 22, 2009, Barack Obama took over the reins of the leader of the free world and not a moment too soon. The litany of troubles that our nation faces today is monstrous. We have a leader in office who will not (I pray) shy away from the difficulties that await his acumen.
I felt just as I had on Election Night only with more certainty and more assuredness. Jubilant. We all did. May it be just as we hope it will be. May we all be inspired by this great man and may he make sound decisions based on rational judgment. As citizens of the world, may we all be recognized and respected as such again.
I am proud to work for the organization I work for and I feel lucky as hell to feel that way. Being involved in this moment in history in even the small way I was is an honor that I will always be grateful for.
