Today was a day of firsts. First time driving in the snow. First time watching the presidential inauguration. First time in the past 8 years the U.S. has chosen a leader that has it's citizens best interest in mind. First time I've swam 30 laps, since I've moved to MHC. First time taking off work due to weather. Perhaps some of these seem inconsequential, but today has been life impacting in subtle ways. Today was the first time I felt a smidgen of pride to be a citizen of the U.S. because there was finally a move in a positive direction. Not b/c the person I voted for is now president, nor that a democrat is in the White House, nor b/c an African American is president [though I do believe those are wonderful things], I am proud because finally enough people came together to make something happen.
