What an uplifting day it was for Barack Obama’s Presidential Inauguration. The whole country seemed filled with feelings of hope and anticipation.
I was supposed to head to Duke on Tuesday, but because we were hit with four inches of snow all day, I wound up being thrilled that I was able to stay at home and watch the Inauguration as it took place. I was touched, I cried a few times, and I felt a surge of happiness at what it all represented.
There were lots of reasons that the day was special and historic, and the snow that we so seldom see here in
All in all, a moving, uplifting day for watching TV, painting, and staying warm.
Praise Song
“…In today’s sharp sparkle, this winter air, anything can be made, any sentence begun.
On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp—praise song for walking in that light.”
(-Elizabeth Alexander)
