That GUT feeling

Today I am reflecting on how long it has been since I have felt a sense of hope about our Country. When I think back to how I felt when GW got elected for the first time, I felt????? a major sense of Dread. When I think back to how GW handled going to WAR I felt???? an alarming sense of Dread. I remember thinking nothing good can come of this. To sum it up I have been walking around with a sense of dread for so long I never realized the effect it had on me. Today I have been in tears most of the morning, thinking of what a monumental moment this is. I, for the first time in a long time, woke up excited and full of HOPE and I have learned to trust my gut. This new president comes with a mighty message. We must all be the change we want to see. I don't know about most but I for one will be! I know that Change will not happen overnight, but the idea that we have someone as our leader that believes it can happen is thrilling to me. I wasn't old enough to remember what the feeling was like when John F Kennedy was elected but I bet it was pretty close to what I am feeling today. Oh happy day....
