Election

I am so happy with the results of last night!!!!! Happy doesn't even begin to explain how I feel really. Excited, overwhelmed, contented, peaceful and very emotional.

This is the first time in 8 years that I don't have a feeling of dread, a fear that the American government is going to blow up the world with there wars and hatred and ignorance.

I am thinking about Martin Luther King and his I have a dream speech.(I know they are running it on every channel, but I was thinking about it while listening to Obama's speech last night.) I am thinking about all those civil rights leaders who fought hard for equality, and ordinary people like Rosa Parks who just wanted to sit down because her feet hurt. I am sure they are smiling down from Heaven on this day.

I am not excited because Obama is black and he won, I am excited that people saw a great man and he won regardless of his skin colour. He was judged on the content of his character not the colour of his skin.

I am so full of hope and optimism for our future. The world seems a much brighter place today, a world were anything is possible.
