History in the Making...

Today was a historic day- President Barack Obama was sworn in as President of our fine country. The inauguration speech was overall captivating (and it was refreshing to hear a speech full of metaphors and rich with detailed description, I have to admit). What a time, we elect our first black president the day after MLK day- it's amazing how far we have come as a nation! Times are tough for lots of us right now (us included) and Obama's speech was for the most part encouraging. I just feel blessed to live in a country where I have rights and freedoms, afforded to us by the brave men and women who serve our nation. God bless them, God bless the leaders of our nation- may our rights remain in tact and we will be led with a thoughtful mind.

History in the making- and I'm alive for it- that's pretty exciting!
