I love that so many in the world have been made happy, finally, by something that happened in the United States of America!!
For me this feels like Christmas morning, Thanksgiving and Easter all wrapped into one celebration: birth, thankfulness and death and resurrection! And I'm not religious. :)
In the Land Downunder we too have been hoping with bated breath. There certainly is hope now that the new year will bring about some necessary changes, however, the proof of the pudding is yet to come.
Sorry I havn't been around lately, been chasing this jolly Trojan horse, lassooing and dispatching him firmly to the salaughter house or wood pile as the case may be.
President Obama has challenges that not many presidents have faced. Not only is he of African/American roots; he faces the wars and meltdown of the economy. I pray that he works his term the same way as his champaign. This will ultimately solve american racism. At least I can hope.
...Haven't had much computer time lately... still busy in the studio working on designs for the Christmas shows and for next year... and filling orders from shops.... I need a tiny team of Elves... to help with the jewelry and to clean up my mess!!!

ReplyDeleteVery important day for a world history..
ReplyDeleteAnd beautiful photo of sunraising!
Today is a good day.
ReplyDeleteHope is the thing with feathers
ReplyDeleteThat perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
~Emily Dickinson
