Inauguration

 "That even as we grieved, we grew. That even as we hurt, we hoped. That even as we tired, we tried."

From The Hill We Climb by Amanda Gorman Poet Laureate

So inauguration yesterday.  Wow.  So much more emotional than I imagined it would be.  An African/Asian Female vice president.  For the first time.  Photos floating around Facebook with all the previous vice presidents, all white men, then Kamala Harris standing next to it.  That's what happened today.  Today is the day we can tell our children that FINALLY THIS too is possible.  Imagine what else we can do now.  Even though we have much work left to do, it is exhilarating to have a government that is working once again on behalf of its citizens.
