Been watching the coverage of the Inauguration of President Obama. I think his kids are holding up like real troopers! Gotta be a tough day for them, but an exciting day too! Great to see so many people smiling and dancing in the streets--to see such excitement! I was glad that the President didn't give us a bunch of sunshine and lollipops rhetoric; but I'm also worried about the long haul, and just what "childish things" are to be given up, and by whom. Underneath everything for the past couple of days has been a message of hope; belief in the hope for better things balanced against the clear message that we all need to get to work! Providence help us... ^_^
