Yesterday and Today
November 4th was an incredible day. To call it a history-making day doesn’t seem to give it the props it deserves.
I saw a country, no, a world, rejoice because so many people united around a man with deep-reaching ideas that could change lives of everyone alive today.
President-elect Barack Hussein Obama. Today was indeed a new day. I feel whole yet humbled.
There are so many to thank.
I thank, first and foremost, God, for creating all of this.
I would also like to thank my ancestors who spoke against intolerance and hatred and those who aided them in their plight to guarantee decent rights for all people. There are too many to name and the struggle continues.
I would like to thank my family that are with us — like my great-grandma who, at 92 years young, cast a vote for president and those that aren’t, like my dad and great-granddad who would have loved this.
I would like to thank everyone who voted. Whether it took you 2 minutes or 2 hours, thank you for exercising your right. It doesn’t matter who you voted for, what matters is that you did…we did, more than in any other time in American history. Let’s see if we can keep this going!
I would like to thank my Meet the Bloggers peeps: Joel, Will, Tim, Gloria, Roger, Carole, Ann, Melinda, Rob and George. I would like to thank Howard Fencl from WKYC and WKYC as a whole for being so hospitable.
More to thank soon..
