I'm speechless. For once I have faith in humanity and this crazy country I live in. Because of racial divides, sovereignty issues, etc. I've never felt as if I was a "regular" American however now I'm inspired. I am "high" on the magnitude of this occasion and I haven't been able to stop weeping since I learned it was certain.
I am proud to be an American. I no longer have to worry about being disenfranchised and I know that for once the minorities in this country will not have to worry about being placated or patronized and for once we will be simply EQUAL and human. I can go to bed for once with the inspiration and hope that my life can go forward without being hindered by my cultural status and I can be ME without having to fear how mainstream white society will take it.
I am proud and humbled and I can't explain what this election means to me. In all of my 33 years I can finally see that the world sees equality and admonishes the blatant racism that ran rampant in the US. It brings tears to my eyes and I can't think of any words to express how much this means to me in my life.
I feel changes coming. And I'm glad to be here to witness this revolution!

..and wow, I am a complete wackjob about my animals.
Yeah, I'm pretty damned pleased with the outcome of the election, too. What a relief! Can't stop smiling.
My eighty-one year-old grandmother, who was born and raised in the deep south (Griffin, GA), is a passionate Obama supporter! The man has such broad appeal. He is truly a unifier.
Anyway...it's great to reconnect with you.
