Overwhelmed with JOY

Just got finished watching the Concert for our New Prez, and I felt like a proud Mama, I saw that hope and hard work pay off, I saw the loving family, not just a black family, which by the way was special in its self, but the love of a working family. A man that is proud and strong enough to have a strong women by his side and in his corner and make no apologizes for it, and nor those she. I hope to have that delicate balance of strength and humbleness in my life one day, one day soon. I'm hopeful that the concert is a snippet of what life in America will become, I know it wont be over night, but if a few minds are changed, enlightened, and enhanced then its already better. if people have let go of limitations and self built walls, then we are moving in the right direction. I'm excited that I'm putting my own thoughts and dreams in to action, one baby step at a time, and slowly letting go of some of my fears. Yes, I too began building my own walls of limitations and had a crew of naysayer's living and working in my head. Thanks to this economy, and election, the layoffs begin in my mind, naw I'm just firing fools, with no hopes of reempolyment or unemployment benefits. Its hard work to self motivate, and even harder to ask for others to assist. I'm genuinely happy right now, despite what my circumstances are, and that feels good. Obama in 09, about DAMN time...
