Despite having to get up in a mere 3 hours to go back in to work I stayed up to watch President Elect Obama's speech. It was beautiful, poetic- surely to be named one of the greatest speeches in history. I was overcome with emotions and a strong belief that change really is going to come to America. I could already imagine myself telling my kids someday that I witnessed one of the most historical moments in the history of America.
As I tried to fall asleep I was disrupted by sirens, car horns incessantly blaring, chants and cheers, and even gun shots. I didn't mind- I opened my window and fell asleep with a smile on my tear laden face to the sounds of victory, to the sound of change.
Last night I cried. Not of despair or out of pain or rage. Not because I lost something or had my feelings hurt. No, last night I cried because for the first time in a long time I truly believed that change was going to come. Yes. We. Can.
Congrats, President Elect Obama!

I found myself crying as well. We were all so touched and amazed that we did it. Great post.
Thank you Danielle
Although I'm not an American but I'm happy for the same reason. I saw Obama speech, it was online and I agree with you, it was beautiful. By the way, I saw another of your blog, I <3 DC. Both of your blog are well written, you are able to express your opinions well. Keep writing. :)
OBAMA= BS
