CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA!!!I had so many thoughts during this political battle. What's so amazing is how fleeting thoughts have stayed embedded in my brain. What's more amazing is to hear people say the exact words that I was thinking about a particular moment. For example, when I first saw our president-elect at the Democratic Convention giving the keynote address I thought, and told a few, "that man is going to be President some day." Little did I know how soon! He was not even my preference during the Democratic fight. But here I am ruffling my feathers, proud as can be about his winning the most important office on this earth. Wow! My cry for many years has been "where are the young people, why are they letting this happen, why aren't they protesting, where are they?" They sure showed up when it counted, didn't they? They just couldn't take it any more, and in this great free country all they had to do was to go to the polls and VOTE. They didn't fight, they didn't scream and cry, they took to the internet, the streets by knocking on doors, made calls and made their choices known, many to the consternation of their parents. Good for them. What a country we live in, a peaceful upheaval....it's astounding when you think about it. I've been told that people who travelled overseas have been warned not to show signs of being American. It wasn't safe to do so. The night of the election not only were there street parties in every big city in this country, including a huge gathering in DC...people were cheering all over the world, Australia, Ireland, Africa, France, England and more...cheering for our country. What history was made. How humbling....how proud we can be. This is a tribute to the young people of our country, it will be theirs to run soon and they're off to a running start with that ballot that was cast, mostly theirs...one at a time. CONGRATULATIONS YOUNG AMERICANS.
