After a day wrecked by inconveniences and setbacks, I am sitting here- with a glass of wine in hand- feeling sorry for myself. I am bummed about a handful of things- all of which I can do little about. In the middle of it, I have the news on in the background.
"Barack Obama becomes the first African American Presidential Nominee"
"Obama clinches the delegates necessary to take the nominee" and does this because of the new generation of voters...the future.
I have just finished listening to Barack Obama accept the democratic nomination for the presidential race for 2008. I am reminded that there is hope and possibility in this country. I am reminded that there is a generation...or two...that believes that we can change what we know to be true. I am reminded that there is a way to bridge the incredible divides that have held this country hostage to itself and its prejudice. I am reminded that ignorance does not rule and life can be better for our children. I am inspired and reminded. I am motivated and reminded. I am excited, as I am reminded that we are able to live our best life.
