I am optimistic and have never been so much in favor of a person being our president. And my conscious view of presidents goes back to Eisenhower. I think we were all in desparate need of change and regaining a personal feel of "power," and I mean in a positive way, taking responsibility for what is happening to our country--and our place in the world.

Yes, I wish I can be of help to you, though (as Fire Byrd just shared with us)it is our own path we have to find. I don`t think that at your age I was as "grown-up" as I am now. No, certainly not. It was actually only the last 10 years or so that really got me to understand what life is all about. So, wait and see! You are quite near, only THINKING too much still. But as long as you write us such wonderful thoughtful posts, I will not complain!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810405587179305368.post-58294363125530304722009-01-22T08:36:00.000-05:002009-01-22T08:36:00.000-05:00I thought the entire proceeding was amazing: the s...I thought the entire proceeding was amazing: the speech, the music, the poem, the benediction!<BR/><BR/>I feel more hopeful than I have in quite a while.tut-tuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15713003038275525797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810405587179305368.post-13130822135610459142009-01-21T23:55:00.000-05:002009-01-21T23:55:00.000-05:00The man exudes a confidence that is contagious.
