Proud to be an American!

Yesterday was a great and historic day for our nation. To my surprise, I became a bit emotional as I watched our 44th president take his oath of office. It became very clear to me at that point of how great a nation we live in that respects the voice of its people- even if it was different than my voice. I did not vote for Obama - but I respect the process that put him into office. I listened to his speech and realized that his best interest is this country and I really feel he will do his best to lead us in the direction we need to go. Politics is an interesting thing - especially working in an environment where political views can differ greatly from mine. I don't mind - that is what makes this nation great. We have our opinions and we should respect other's opinions - even if we don't agree. Watching the inauguration yesterday reminded me what it is to be an American. I am grateful for a system that I feel is an inspired system that allows people to vote for an individual they feel will do our country the greatest good. I am very blessed to be an American and to witness this piece of history for our nation. I will support this President whole heartily and hope to see greatness from him!
