Christmas came early last night and the celebration could be heard around the world. I'm usually not lost for words, but today I just want to say that I feel so hopeful for our future because of Barack Obama. There will be those who will be looking for his every mistake, and those who will be gloating at the enormity of his challenge. Let them simmer in their hate. Those of us who voted for this man have dared to dream of a time when our country can move beyond racial divides and rise to be the kind of nation where our similarities are celebrated and our differences mended. Today I am so grateful to live in a country where the people can decide who leads them, and we have chosen.
John McCain stepped down last night in a gracious and very dignified manner. He will no doubt be sought out in the new cabinet for his advice, as he so generously offered last night.
I pray that all those who so vehemently opposed our candidate will, in time come to respect him and embrace the him as our new president of the United States-Barack Obama. As Obama stated last night, it's not about him, it's about US.

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can hardly even believe it. I was on the phone with Tim last night, and we weren't even saying much, we were both so overcome, and he murmured, "It feels like a new world." And I realized: it is.
