I'm going to be
brief today, but I want to give a big nod to the history we've made in the past few weeks here in the US of A. Healthcare and
marriage for everyone! Punching it in with Cuba! BP has to eat it, big time! And a birthday! No, it hasn't all been positive. Some
extraordinarily sad stuff has happened as well. But the optimist in
me is hoping it all leads to a Greater Good. Movement forward. For
the first time since I entered college, voted in my first
presidential election and had my vote count (when Bill Clinton won
his first term), I feel hopeful for, and a little proud, of my country. I
feel like I'm a part of it; a rare emic approach to my United States.
Doesn't it kind of feel like we're in the middle of a “Mercy Mercy Me” or “Turn! Turn! Turn!” video? Like, it's all
happening. Now.
