Today I lived history. There aren't many moments like this in life, and so far my moments haven't been positive.
Al Gore winning, but denied office. 9/11. Iraq invasion, Saddam's capture. GW winning the second term. Hurricane Katrina.
This election I had the great task of choosing between Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama. I was leaning towards Hilary. I knew Obama was a great leader, a rock star. I knew that when he spoke at the DNC for John Kerry. I just wasn't sure if this was his time. I can't tell you the moment I knew he was the one.
Barack Obama inspires people to be better. To create change. That's an admirable quality. He's brought passion, determination. Hope.
I wish I could be that, if only a fraction of it.
November 4 I watched history, sitting in my living room. Thrilled, overwhelmed. Today I watched history, sitting in my living room. Excited, elated. Ready for the word, to leap, to act, to be better for others.
It's a tough road ahead, no one will deny that. It's not going to be easy. But it's a challenge we have to face.
Cheers to President Barack Obama -- if that's not a reason to celebrate with Pepsi Twist ... I don't know what is.
