Wow...

I consider myself very lucky that I work in a job that allows a certain amount of freedom when it comes to important events. I was lucky enough to get to watch the inauguration of President Obama today and I am so eternally grateful! While I realize that not everybody out there is as excited for Obama's presidency as I am, I think even doubters had to step back today and just realize how powerful today's ceremony was. There was nothing earth shatteringly new and unique about the presidential oath, it is the same oath that 43 other presidents have uttered before Obama today, however, even those against this presidency had to have seen that something was different. When I say different, I'm not just talking about the color of Obama's skin but there was a feeling of hope. Even men and women who live in DC have noticed the difference these last 2 days (and as I've learned from killing time at work by reading about the events of the past 2 days, these people are political cynics). I really hope that Obama has a lot of success in the next four years (there are a lot of people counting on him). It's not going to be an easy job, taking over the reins when the country is in the current state it is, however, he seems like he's up for a little hard work! I was online and saw this picture and it just amazed me so I thought I would share it with you...it must take a lot to inspire this kind of turn out!!

*I realize that this has nothing to do with the original purpose of this blog but I just wanted to share my thoughts with you fine ladies!
