Can I just say how nice it is just to see people HAPPY again??????

I can't recall seeing such joy as a country as I saw today. People dancing with strangers in the streets, singing, laughing...... it has been such a long for years of exhausting chaos....... and it ended with two brilliant GROWN UPS delivering fantastic speeches. GROWN UPS. IT is such a simple thing to ask for, isn't it?

So much work to be done... but today was a day to celebrate a job well done by America.

Hate and fear, uncertainty, brutality. That's all that we've been surrounded by, too, in Trump's way. Now we can see the end approaching and the shedding of the negativity is intoxicating!

Just wait until the inauguration party. I'll be glued to my TV set that day. Can't wait to see the Clintons and Obamas in the front row. I still remember how much I cried the day I watched President's first inauguration. I couldn't believe how tearful I was that day just to witness history in the making.
