...with a restrained skip and a jump. While I've long outgrown the naive expectation that epic events -- such the election of Barack Obama as this nation's 44th President -- will be able to "change everything", I am still basking in the ray of hope that is emanating from the outcome of this Election.
Granted, after the glow fades and we give our last round congratulatory hugs, we will each return to life as usual, digging in to face the realities and challenges of everyday life. Granted, after the President-Elect took a couple of deep breaths (if that) to savor his victory, he hunkered down with his camp to start devising a strategy to bushwhack our way out of a fairly thick mess.
But despite the bumps (and boulders) in our personal and the nation's political roads, I, for one, am forging ahead with an extra spring in my step, optimistic that the hope for change he has been speaking and writing about is not all that audacious.
