Historic Day

What a historic day for The United States of America.! Dreams do come true. Congratulations to President Elect Barack Obama. I can't remember a time when people actually went to the streets to celebrate a candidate wining an election. President Obama, you truly are the candidate "of the people, by the people, and for the people" to quote a famous document! We as a nation have made a tremendous statement not only to ourselves in overcoming racial bias but also in showing the world that we are a nation that honors it's diversity. The eyes of the World were upon us yesterday. I have many friends in other countries and I know that they are always interested and aware of what happens in our elections. I'm hoping that we have regained their respect.


Now the hard part comes. We, the people, must realize that change is hard and doesn't happen overnight. It will take all of us talking to our congress people and doing our part to help make change happen. We have a leader who will guide but we must support. Since I am a weaver I think of it in weaving terms. In any cloth there is a warp and a weft. The warp is the lengthwise of the fabric and the strongest part of the cloth. The weft is the part that is woven back and forth interlacing with the warp to form the cloth. We the people are the warp. We make up the strength of this nation. Our hard work and steady everyday living is what makes us strong. Our new President will be the weft, interlacing ideas, hopes, policies, and new directions to produce the fabric that is America. The two must be interwoven in order to have cloth that holds together. They must guide and support each other. With out that, the cloth falls apart.





So, no matter who you voted for, as we look forward to 2009, lets all come together to make this Nation the best it can be. Let's form the most beautiful cloth the world has ever seen!
