I'm proud to be an American

There are not words to tell you how filled with hope and happiness I am today.

I am proud of our country for voting for Barack Obama and Joe Biden. I am filled with awe for what this means for our nation and our world.

I am proud of the example we have set for my children -- and for all children, especially children of color who now can believe, unequivocally, that anything is possible.

I am proud of John McCain for delivering an honorable and gracious speech last night. And I am proud of Barack Obama for speaking to everyone -- his supporters, his detractors ("I will be your president..."), and the citizens of the world.

I am happy. Life is good. :), Jen
