My Personal Political

January 21, 2009


So here we are…

January 20th… Inauguration Day.
Tonight, watching coverage on BBC America, I surprised myself by wishing I could have been there. Just to feel like I was a part of something greater than myself. Just for the history of it.

But instead, Beau and I watched it on television, the next best thing.

    I felt that same way….like I wanted to actually BE there to feel the moment in person. I was jealous of all those we were there!!

    Me too Holli! I heard on the radio this morning a guy saying that it was one thing to watch it on tv and an entirely different thing to be there and BREATHE the moment. I totally agree.
