Still reliving the night of Tuesday 4 November.
So relieved and happy and hopeful.
I'm not naive enough to think that life will get instantaneously better for all Americans...especially given that we've had 8 years to get to the low point where we are now. Noticing comments in papers and on blogs from Republicans that are now 'scared'. I feel for them; I really do. But maybe they will now have a glimmer of what I've felt for the last 8 years.
Looking forward to the positive changes that will come about with intelligent, compassionate and caring leadership at the helm.
As I said in an email to a friend that does not share my political persuasion "I'm not scared anymore".
It blows me away to think that anyone could be scared of Barack Obama! Like things could get any worse?!
Anyway, yeah...I am SO relieved. And it hasn't been until NOW that the word hope has actual meaning.
