HOPE
Yesterday I was driving along when I noticed a man in the car next to me gesticulating wildly. He held up a finger, and then a thumb, and nodded at me and grinned. I thought over my bumper stickers - Obama, Creative Commons, ACLU...what did he mean with the gesticulating?
And then, of course, I got it. One more day.
I rolled down my window at the next light. "I can't wait!" I yelled over to him, with a big grin.
"One more and out the door!" he replied, and drove off smiling.
I love that since Obama was elected, I have had many of these moments. Strangers, stopping to comment or smile. The day after the election, a man outside the grocery store asked me, "How ya doing?" and I told him, "Better than I've been for the last eight years," and we smiled at each other.
Despite Rev. Warren giving the invocation, this is a great day. My heart is full.

It was a good day.
A president who knows big words, isn't afraid to use them and properly pronounces them. Yay!
