I've been thinking a lot the past few days about the Inauguration coming up tomorrow, so decided to gather together a few threads of what I'm seeing online that makes me feel encouraged about the future.
The past year I've become a news/politics junkie, but it's been driven more by fear of more of the same than by hope for change. I have become so cynical over the last decades that I really have feared to hope. Since the election, though, I've let myself believe that perhaps finally we are ready for the kind of changes I had hoped for from the 60's.
John Ridley posted this on Huff Post on 1/16/09. I thought it was interesting. My Obligatory Inauguration Obama-is-Great Post (And Why He is)
Maybe I"m not too old, jaded, and cynical, after all, to let myself fall for a pitch like "Born Again American" I'm going to be a hopeless basket case on Tuesday. (What the heck! Maybe I'll "take the pledge" and sign up!) Take a look - see what you think.

My friend Susan published this note on her blog today. I thought it really expressed what I am feeling about the inauguration this week. Since she has it set up to export, I'm taking the liberty of linking it here.
