A Change is Gonna Come
01/20/2021
Well. Here we are!
Oh, there been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long,
but now I think I'm able
to carry on.It's been a long,
a long time coming
but I know a change gonna come.
Oh, yes it will.--- Sam Cooke, A Change is Gonna Come
I'm full of hope today. Hope and celebration. Because a change . . . is gonna come.

Finally! After four long painful, horrific, and deadly years, Inauguration Day has arrived, and I will be doing a happy (make that ecstatic!) dance at noon.

The sense of relief is overwhelming. As I write this, we have about two hours to go to decency in the White House again. I hope never to hear the name "Trump" again unless it's followed by "was sentenced to prison." Congratulations to President Biden and Vice President Harris!

What a day! I was so excited to get up this morning, and now I am feeling such a huge relief. We survived the last four years, and while there is still a lot of work to be done, I am feeling so much more hope and optimism. And of course we've seen a historic moment, and I'll fully admit that I ugly cried watching Kamala Harris take the oath.
