hope

today is the day!
i am so hopeful today. so excited to begin a whole new way...
i have felt a collective energy around me the past couple of days, months really.

on the way to work this morning people were waving and holding up signs and smiling, and i honked and thumbs-up-ed.
there is so much possibility, and so much to think about right now. i want to thank my friends for talking and blogging about it and for sharing in this excitement along the way.

i want to thank my friend brandon who i miss terribly today. he's off in north carolina working on the campaign and making things happen. it was his excitement about obama that first educated and informed me a couple of years ago. and now, today is the day.

I am so excited I can hardly find the words, mostly just excited gestures, smiles and exclamations! Ow! My heart is bursting with pride and excitement!

the excitement is oozing off the States and crossing the border far South. Here in Guatemala we are biting our nails and pacing the dirt/cobbled roads with anticipation that a new dawn will shine down on all of us :)

I am SOOO happy! I am selfishly happy for the feelings of fear to escape from my heart and I am elated that my kids will grow up in a time of hope under the Obama administration (that has a beautiful ring to it!).
