Yes We Can, Yes We Did, Here We Go!


Yesterday~ the 20th of January, 2009~ was my favorite kind of weather-- blanketed by thick, misty, silvery fog, with...

CHANGE on the horizon!

I remember only one other day on this island that the fog rolled in, settled in, and stayed wrapped snug around us allllll day long like this, soft and cozy and enveloping-- September 28, 1996, the day of Sequoia's birth, another day when the world as I know it changed forever....

Two words came to mind to describe the overwhelming emotions of these 2 amazing days, and the days that led up to them, the choices made by individuals and communities to

*C*H*O*O*S*E* *H*O*P*E* *O*V*E*R* *F*E*A*R*....

***ex⋅ult***
   
1. to show or feel a lively or triumphant joy; rejoice exceedingly



***ju·bi·la·tion***

1 : an act of rejoicing

2 : an expression of great joy

Great joy, indeed!!! Here's to a brighter future!

Exactly! Those Obamas seem to be a family full of huggers!

It's been so amazing to see a First Family so sweet and loving and genuinely affectionate with each other-- and to have a President who I have already heard so many times, all along the campaign trail, say "I Love You!" to the crowd! I don't *ever* recall hearing any other President *ever* say those words-- feelin' the love, for sure!!!
