It's a new day, and I guess last night will be one of those moments many people won't forget, where they were, and who they were with while the American election was taking place, and the moment they heard the results.
Such hope and expectation tied up in a moment and a choice, and then there comes a time when walking the walk becomes a reality from talking the talk... not an easy thing to do.
How can we know the significance of our choices and how they may shape lives...? I find that a huge thought generally, and have rarely been as interested as I was yesterday to see how things worked out.
Change and possibility linger and give strength to hope and belief perhaps.
On a slightly separate note and thought ~ yet still related in my brain
I have just been over at Liz's blog reading her diary of her time in Palestine, the same trip big John and same harbour, new shelter were on and have been writing about. I can't imagine what it is like to visit, let alone live there, but need to hear their stories to make it real, and I want my children to know about them too. Stories and experiences need to be shared, need the cold light of day, as shocking as they are.
Either I have been deaf and blind, not in the right place at the right time, or just totally unaware, or alternatively it could be that the information isn't being made accessible enough to every day people, but I knew relatively little about this until recently. Until then it had never featured on my information radar and yet I still know very little, despite reading here and there, and trying to keep it as simple as I can for easy absorption and to make it easier to relay to others in the family at some point.
Information like this needs to be a part of education as much as anything else is.
Information and awareness, which may somehow bring about change...possibly, somehow.
I'm pleased they are writing and sharing their images too, they are worth a look.
Today is a new day with a new American president, and tonight there are fireworks which are totally unrelated... It's a good day - a new start perhaps...lets hope

We are beyond thrilled and can't wait to see President Obama (feels even odd to type that) change the status quo here. Change has come indeed. I for one, am ready to embrace it with open arms.
Let's start everyday with that thought...that each day is not just another cycle of the treadmill..but a new start. With limitless possibilities. xx
Jayne, it certainly feels that way, I am sure the road ahead is a hard and rocky one but somehow it feels brighter
Niki, I think thats a perfect way to start every day.. we should, xx
