Inauguration Day!

Please don't consider this a political post, it is far from that. Instead I see this as a post about hope, possibilities, and a better future. Regardless of your political bent, or mine for that matter, today was an amazing day for our country. I am not a political person, and to be honest politics overwhelms me. But today my bi-racial son and daughter watched the swearing in of our first bi-racial president. (The other kids were at school and will watch the recording tonight. My husband didn't want me to keep them home since we are recording the inauguration to watch later!!) I know the little ones really didn't understand what was going on. I did let them know it was important, and they had the opportunity to see people of color in a very prestigious setting. I was very moved! My kids will grow up never having known a time when a black child couldn't grow up dreaming of becoming the president, and actually have it happen. Things aren't perfect, and I am not naive to the racial tension that still exists in this country. But I have to believe that today was step forward. I am grateful to have been able to witness history in the making. Who knows, maybe one of my children will be the President of the United States of America? That dream is no longer too big for anyone to dream!!
