A Change.....

Whether you voted for our new President or not, I believe he is now our man. Everyone around my office yesterday was forced to endure an entire day of CNN for me. The long standing traditions of our country should be acknowledged and honored the way that at least 2 million people witnessed in twenty-something degree weather for hours on end on Tuesday. Being an American is a privledge and a gift, so whether you agree with the outcome of this election or not please remember this is a democracy and the majority has spoken. Actually, they spoke very loudly that they wanted this historical moment to come and now it has. Passing the torch from President George W. Bush to President Obama was a surreal moment and will be talked about throughout time. I was glad that I got to witness it, in the comfort of my chair at work. (No one could have paid me to go stand out in that cold for any amount of time) Even though I may not agree with his politics or some of his visions, I will be respectful to my newly appointed commander and cheif. Somber as President Bush may have been, there seemed to be a wash of relief that overcame him knowing that he would soon be back in Texas to stay. The parade was awesome with many bands from all over our country, including the University of Tennessee playing Rocky Top. This morning I got on the internet just to see the dresses that the ladies wore to all of the 10 balls. Can you believe after the amazing day the Obamas had that they had to attend that many formal events? I love the history behind all of the actions that were played out for us all to see. I also love that this country is still the land of the free where dreams can come true and we are all equal. Ofcourse, I felt somewhat sorry for John McCain who fought so hard for his time in the most famous house is this country. I will continue to pray for President Obama, for he is now at the helm of our nation. Hopefully he will continue to raise awareness of some of the big issues with his following and surprise the rest of us with his resolutions.

I suppose I need to issue a retraction from the last blog entry, because my best friend and her boyfriend have decided that they can and will work out their issues with each other. She is trying to be optimistic and he is trying to understand her better, but I'm sure that they will work something out. I love her and all I want is for her to be happy, but love and life is hard as we all know and can relate. When you really love someone I guess you can work the issues out, however, when is enough, enough? Recently, I have begun to see another friend of mine that I haven't in several weeks. I know that there are some people who aren't thrilled about it, but somehow I don't really care. I am having fun and maybe thats all I need is to just laugh with someone. God has a plan for me, my friends, and this country. I just have to let go of it and faithfully know that he will take care of me. Love all of you guys. Take care, and God Bless America
