It's been a long time coming

And he's only just begun.

May we all join in to actively assist the expansion and growth of this joyous, world-changing, world-improving moment.

In so many ways, we're finally entering the 21st century.

Remember . . .

For when you're feeling doubtful.

A wonderful, profound, exciting, challenging new path lies ahead with President Obama.

May we do what we need to, change what we need to, give what we need to, to make this world work better for all of us.

This is HUGE. Let's make it happen!

Finally!

For those of us who had to wait allll the way to November 4, finally we can vote!

It's been such a long road to this day. May we go forward with new plans and solutions to all those problems littering the landscape.

And could we possibly simplify and ease the whole election process for next time?!!!

Edited to add today's voting experience:

A bit of background: Dixville Notch, NH, has 21 registered voters this year. They vote at 12:01 am of election day and the count is broadcast immediately.

Republicans (in this R. state) *always* win, usually by a large majority.

Today Obama took it, 15 to 6. The earth just quaked!

And for my own voting experience: A long line (maybe 200) for the polls that opened at 6 am. We got there at 6:05, moved fast, and being in the Q-Z check-in line helped. My husband and I were done in 20 min.

We vote on paper ballots that are fed into a counting machine. The location had 12 extra booths over the normal number of 12.
