Hope

Just a question…..  “All villages matter !!!”  - Who said this?  Barak Obama or Colin Powell?

Changing, inclusive, beaUtiful America !!!

We are a huge group with interesting ideas here at Buddyslim and though sometimes we disagree, we are truly stronger with each other by our cyber-sides.  People are hurting, so let’s understand that change is difficult for many. 

I feel hope as I turn on the TV.  I have to admit I did not feel for sure that it would happen.  After last election where I just was so confident of the pending results and only was left shocked.  Mouth on the floor….  But there is so much hope and energy in me now, it is almost overwhelming.  I CAN NOT imagine what it is like to be a part of this huge moment in history.  Yet, I do believe that others outside the US feel this way too.  Change and hope and SCREAM !  :)  When I got home it seemed right to snack on something - I was anxious.    BUT I WAS TOO EXCITED WHEN I LEARNED THE NEWS.  Food was forgotten. 

The show last night was a bit disappointing (TSO) and David was perhaps more so.  So we left early to get home before we were stuck in traffic and had to hear the results on the radio.  I quickly turned on the TV.  Katie Couric announced the winner and I felt like I was in a dream.  The only thing that is bringing me to a bit of an ugly reality is the Obama bashing and racism that has been sparked a little more.  I am hoping and praying that everyone can come together and ride this Hope all the way towards Peace. 

Peace to everyone!

    we still have a long road ahead though for full inclusiveness, as we lost some major races in CA, FL, AZ, and Arkansas.

    it’s nice to have some neighborly support! and it’s nice to see how the US looks to the rest of the world! :)

    I agree with you…I didn’t think it would happen either…B/c I was so sure of how the last election was going to go…And we all remember what happened with that…But, for this to happen in 2008 shows how much things have changed…B/c never in my lifetime did I ever think that this would happen!….We have a long, long challenging road ahead of us…But, yesterday was def a HISTORICAL Day!!!
