a call to service .......

Don't ask what the world needs.

Ask what makes you come alive

and do it. Because what the world

needs is people who have come alive.

- Howard Thurman

Hope for a better tomorrow....

I am really happy that the inaugural events are beginning. I can feel a little joy sneak in between my hot flashes and anxious mind thought. My hopes and prayers are with President elect Borack Obama & his family every day. The desperate situation he faces help me keep my own problems in better perspective. As my current difficulties seem hopeless at times, P.E. Obama brings me a certain confidence that I will be okay. As he reminds us often that this year will be another tough one, he instills hope for my long term future. I am watching the train move south toward Washington DC and am pretty sentimental about this historic occasion. I am weepy today and am sure it will only intensify as we move toward Tuesday. It might be the raging hormones or the results of a stressful personal situation - but who cares..... People who know me well aren't surprised that I would be crying over this.

Heading over the pass today toward Sues house. I hope to see most of my family and to meet the newest member Avery.

Have a wonderful day!

God Bless us!
