This has been such a beautiful day. My heart is full. It keeps leaking out my eyes. When I try to write about what I feel . . . maybe later. I keep thinking that the most wonderful thing about this moment in history is how normal it is.
I’m going to walk Miss Sadie and the Cowboy, and let Miss Puss out, and feed them all – and go to the Township Board meeting in my very small community and marvel at how we manage to govern ourselves one way and another. Then I’ll go home and write it up for the paper.
And then maybe I’ll have another nice little cry. I’m beginning to believe in our future again, and our ability to be our best selves.
Yes. We can.

God bless you for even trying to put it into words. I can’t… and everyone who knows me knows I never ever run out of words. And somehow, amidst all the really GREAT stuff, the Obamas’ simple act of holding hands through it all was what clutched my heart and made me hopeful
