At last...

Times they are a-changin'. And we start now.

Right after I stop bawling my eyes out! Jeez, I was doing so well yesterday, just a might bit weepy after the oath. I celebrated with friends, drank champagne, hugged and kissed my loved ones. Then lovely emails in the evening and went to bed feeling just fine.

Woke up this morning, watched the First Inaugural Dance and my eyes started to seep. On my way to the West 4th Street station, I decide to listen to the OBAMA playlist I'd created during the election, walking by happy people reading newspapers exclaiming PRESIDENT OBAMA, the waterworks in full effect.

A couple hours later, and a tissue box later, I'm realizing we have the upper hand in creating a world for the common good. We have a president who can lead. A government that we can stand behind and who will stand behind us. If we choose it, if we get involved, if we open ourselves, and work at it.

The transition has ended and the new administration has begun. CHANGE.gov is our resource and we can now join President Obama at WHITEHOUSE.gov.

Peace and love,
