A Time For Change
Do you readers know what today is? It is the day we start the clean up after a major disaster. If you take all the tornados, hurricanes, and wildfires combine them together and it will not be anywhere NEAR the damage as our Ex-president has done to our country. As much as I hope that Barack Obama is going to clean up the crap left behind from Bush I have the feeling that even he can’t fix the mess we are in. It will take at least two more strong Presidents to even try it. For the last eight years we have seen our country slowly slipping out of our control. Our gas prices reached an unnecessary highs, our wages slipped to an unacceptable lows, our economy is at an unimaginable level of hell. This is reason today means so much. Today my dear readers we now have a glimmer of hope. Now I have no disillusion that tomorrow the world is right again. I know it will take a long time. President Obama is not God or David Copperfield. He can’t wave a wand and everything is right again. I feel though he will try as hard as he can. He is a brave man in my opinion. It takes a someone with….mmmm Ok I will not type that word but I am sure you get my point. So I am sure you don’t want to read my thoughts or rants but today my son is home from school and together we lay together in my bed and we watched the world change right before I eyes. I know he should be in school but I wanted ALL of my children here with me. For today like I said our country changed and I wanted to hold all my children and bask in the glory of it. I wasn’t sure we would ever have a black president but I knew we needed one. I know people assume that because we are from the south that we would be against President Obama. As a southerner born and breed I am honored that this has taken place so early in my lifetime. So now I can just imagine the awesome and wonderful things that our country will have not only in my lifetime but my children and grandchildren’s lifetime. I am keeping my head up and eye on the first woman president and I know we can and will have one day. I am sure you are tired of the inauguration coverage I just wanted to tell you the thoughts of a 32 year old southern mom to three wonderful and potential future presidents. On that now I pray not only for our family, the new President, but for our country and its future. I pray “all” angels are smiling on us all. I would also say to Ex-President Bush….”Hey Thanks for nothing”. My love to all and one last statement is a quote from another brave man…”We are free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last”…
