Democracy

I just have to do a quick post on how privileged I feel to be living in a democracy tonight.   Maybe it's the fact that I was off work today, and I was able to watch a lot of the Inaugural coverage on T.V..  Maybe it's the fact that I'm maturing and becoming more thankful, but we are so lucky to live in a country with a peaceful transfer of power, a place where we can make our voices heard, and a place where we have a progressive President speaking for those of us in the middle.  I'm feeling very inspired after the speeches, the dance, and the obvious love between the president and his wife.  Democracy isn't simple, but it sure is sweet.
