Day after the Inaugeration

There was so much that I loved about what happened yesterday.

1, Crowds and their excitement !

2, Hearing the commentators talking about the peaceful transfer of power that happens in America. Yes!

3. Hearing Aretha sing "America the Beautiful." And I like her hat!

4. Hearing and watching Yo Yo Ma and Itzak Perlman play "Simple Gifts"

5. The gracious relationship between the Obama's and the Bush's. Classy.

6. The speech - serious and smart and making us face what is ahead.

7. The Benediction - full of wisdom and soul and faith.

8. The parade - and seeing them walking and waving.

9. The Obama family - interacting - all of them and Michelle's mom. A family.

10. Watching Barak and Michelle dance to"At Last" sung by Beyonce. Lovely.

There is no question that Barak Obama has a heck of a job ahead. I pray for him and his family and our country. May we continue with this beginning - ready to work hard, work together and hope!
