I know that in less than 24 hours Barack Obama will be president. But we have been suffering for so long, for eight long years, it just doesn't seem real yet.
I was shocked at the depth of my emotion when Obama was declared the winner; am now wondering what I will do when he's sworn in.
2. Let go and enjoy the celebration now, then participate as much as you can.

Obama is asking all of us to take an active role in his administration and I intend to do just that. He can't fix our problems and we shouldn't expect him to; he will need our help.
I got very emotional yesterday while watching the concert with Lincoln looming in the background. I realized this IS real and we are lucky enough to not only witness a new chapter in American history but be a part of it. Fantastic.
