A New Day.....

What a historic day it has been. As I sat listening to the Inaugration on my radio at work,,,i also thought about the stories my mom would tell me about going to watch a movie in Old Downtown Carrollton, a young girl not understanding why the blacks and hispanics had to enter through the back door. Not understanding how the color of your skin made you different. I'm so proud of the progress our country has made. Our first interracial president. The votes for this election were not decided by race though. It was the 'young' vote that made it possible. It was time for change, and I'm so glad I was able to participate. What a different world my nieces and nephews will grow up in. They of course have to deal w/ life post 9/11 but they also get to live with the satisfaction of knowing that they being interracial as well can be president if they choose to be. There are no bounderies,,no excuse for not succeding in what ever they call happiness. Today I've heard everything from the excitement to the disgruntled remarks of our former President. There is a question we must all ask ourselves though. If Bush had never been President, would we have been able to elect Obama? I think Americans needed to go through the high's and lows of the last 8 years. I think we needed the hard times to hit us so that we could finally all be on the same page regarding change. He is the great motivator for this generation and I'm proud that he is our President.
