Our Future is Bright

with one comment

Jubilant this morning, I’m feeling generous, even with the bitter naysayers trying to rain on this brilliant moment in our country’s history.

I thought fitwithandrea said it well.  She wrote:

Message to the other side:  Stop the hate and appreciate the awesomeness of this historical moment.  And after deep soul-searching, please join us and let’s work together.  Barack will need all of us to support him in finding common sense solutions to the enormous problems we are facing.

It’s time to come together as a nation and remember what makes us great. Some of us have been disheartened, others hypnotized, by the last eight years. We have seen a proud nation deteriorate into a cynical, angry, selfish place.

It’s time to put all that acid aside and look to the future.  It’s time to rejoice in being United.

This is a proud moment for our country. And a happy moment for the world. Let’s sit in awe of what has been accomplished.

The first president my four-year-old daughter remembers will be President Obama. Wow. That is awesome in the true sense of the word.  To these children, the backlash fear and racism we’re dealing with now will seem silly and oh-so old-fashioned. They are growing up in a different, truly multi-cultural country.

The face of America is changing and that is good. This new world is going to be more inclusive. And that is good. My daughter refers to all doctors as “she” because that’s all she knows. And now, when she hears President she will think Obama.  It’s amazing to me that someday I will have to explain to her that this was a momentous occasion.  Because in her mind, it will always have been possible.  And that is the world I want her to know.
