A Good Day

Today makes me look forward. Whether you were an Obama supporter or not, it should really make everyone look forward. It's a fresh start, one way or another.

Why? Some big reasons, some little ones.

• Our new president represents America as an intelligent individual, with poise and class.
  
• I don't feel like our country will be a bully anymore. I don't like bullies.
• I think that the first family will be a good example--an accessible one--to others in the country.
• 
• It's nice to have a First Lady that I can actually relate to.
• Feels like my family is going to be more important to everyone, not just to me, for some reason.
• I can't remember the last time this much of the country was excited about anything.
• I liked the fact I followed so much of real-people-chat on Twitter and online, in terms of how they felt, how the day impacted them.
  
• LOVE the new White House web site! http://www.whitehouse.gov/
  
• It felt good to have both the kids in the room with me during the oaths.
• What he says makes sense to me, as a person.
  

I hope everyone has good feelings in their heart today. It will not be easy, it will not be fast to fix all that is currently off-balance in the USA. But at least it seems like a good running start.
