Alas, we didn't make the inauguration of Barack Obama as 44th President of the United States in person but we were absolutely there in spirit via cable television! I was mesmerized by the energy, the welcome shift in power, and the meaning of the message conveyed. Given the enormous mess he has inherited, President Obama certainly has his work cut out for him. Through his leadership and vision of what is possible, I am confident there is hope and ultimately - better days ahead for all. His temperment and intelligence will be called upon to guide us through uncharted times of economic and world crisis. He has requested members of this proud nation to contribute to the re-building of America and I am happy to oblige not just for myself, but for my family, my friends and my neighbors. I can only hope that the few cynics "out there" have the courage to open their minds and their hearts before habitually spewing vitriol... and to recognize that the differences that divide us are much less than the similarities that join us.
