A name on every ones lips, especially today.Wednesday the 21st January in the Southern Hemisphere/20 th January in the Northern Hemisphere.
I was choked with emotion today to see such raw emotion on so many American peoples faces, looks of hope for the future and determination to help this one man make their Country and the world a better place to live in.
Such a humble , kind man, which you can see every time he smiles as his eyes truly light up.He has such a huge task ahead of him, but I know in my heart that he and the American people can do it.They have seen in him, what they have needed for a very long time....a real LEADER.
I love that he holds hands with his wife Michelle and includes her in everything.It shows how in love and close they truly are.You don't see that kind of union much anymore.Perhaps they will inspire with their relationship as well.
Sitting watching the Inauguration on TV today, it brought me to tears many times.When he raised his hand for the Oath and stumbled on his words, when he and Michelle got out of their bulletproof car and walked down the road , watching the American people show off their traditions during the parade.
When I saw the NATIVE AMERICAN people come riding down on their horses, so proud to be there, I cried, tears of joy, as they had been invited to be a part.Then to see more tribes walking, holding their heads high, walking down the road waving.I truly hope that after such a long time for these first peoples of America, that they will finally be treated as they deserve.I am typing away, quite choked up about this.It means a lot to me,and I believe that after all this time THIS MAN, can and will make a difference in so many ways.
I wish you well Mr, President, not only do you have your own countries people behind you, but many from other countries as well.Good luck and I pray you stay safe .
Which now leads me to our own country, Justine and I were only speaking of this today.We need our own Barrack Obama in Australia now, someone young and energetic, someone who has known what it is like to live with not much money.The politicians in Australia have no idea, as they are all in high paying professions.They have no idea how hard it is to live week by week.To scrimp and save to put fuel in our cars, food on the table.Not too mention, now being able to afford to buy our own home.....it is unattainable for so many now.Everything seems to be going up in price except our incomes.It makes you wonder just what is ahead of us in the years to come.
Well, I got that off of my chest...phew.Hope you all were able to see the Inauguration today.It truly was a historic moment in time.
Hugs to you all
Happy New Year! 2024!
