Happy / Sad

When my daughters were in first grade, they had meetings daily in school where they each were supposed to say “I am happy today because…” &/or “I am sad today because…”. So today, I am happy because of the new administration and because of how much I am enjoying my photography. So today I am sad because work just drains me and I am so sick of all the problems being a landlady and how that effects my day and money.

New Day

It was wonderful to join lots of like minded people to watch the inauguration and cheer and hug each other. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve felt this good about a change in the administration. To hear love, the environment, science, equality included in an inaugural speech was great. To watch W fly away was fabulous. I felt as if someone with a similar sense of putting faith into practice, without judging those with different beliefs, someone who is smart, who cares and is willing to admit that he needs help. It was great.

Inauguration Day

In just a few hours, W will no longer be president and Obama will become president. This gives me faith that democracy can work – it just took awhile this time.
