For This I am Thankful

I awoke this morning feeling confident that our country can finally be taken in a new, better direction. The last eight years have left many of us feeling hopeless and discouraged; frustrated and angry. My hope is that as a nation we will embrace this new beginning and enjoy to the full extent what is to come. Our country has seen a historical event unfold, and I pray we have the intelligence and acceptance to work with and for each other to reach a better place. At the very least, we have finally had the common sense to rid ourselves of George W. Bush!
