Here on the pulse of this new day You may have the grace to look up and out And into your sister's eyes, into Your brother's face, your country And say simply Very simply With hope Good morning.
I'm going to come clean. I couldn't even watch the Inauguration with other people at work, 'cause I was afraid I was going to tear up. And I did. I'm not exactly sure what the emotion was? Is that what joy is? Is that what hope feels like? As we get older and our emotions are somewhat tempered, it's often hard to know. But I know it felt exhilarating!
And I know this. I would rather have this man in this place at this time than anyone else I can imagine.
For a moment, just think; what if John McCain had won?
But I digress...
Like a losing team that finally wins a game I feel like saying: OK, that's one! Now let's build on it!
just perfect!

The benefits of working from home today: I could have a little cry.
