Words do not describe how thrilled, ecstatic, relieved, amazed, overjoyed and hopeful I am at the moment. Well - perhaps those words do a pretty good job.
This is only the second presidential election that I've voted in, and really only the third one that I remember. I absolutely cannot imagine what it must feel like for older generations - those who were only a few generations post slavery, those who saw segregation to their left and to their right and those who never even dreamed that a black man would be president - to be part of this. We have come so far in such a short period of time.
What a rush.
Things are going to get better, I can feel it in my heart.
But for right now I sit on my porch wrapped up in a blanket, scarf and sweater and watching Brian Williams and Tom Brokaw as Bruce smokes his victory cigar and drinks his victory beer. That's good for now.
