Congratulations

-

Congratulations America, you are truly the BRAVE and the FREE!! I'm so impressed with how the night went, my kids were awake watching all night online streaming ... McCain made a proud & strong speech, though I was surprised that some booed and heckled when he congratulated Obama. Seeing Jessie Jackson in tears pushed me over... A truly historical day has dawned.....Change, a breath of fresh air and a new beginning, I'm so excited for you all!

    Spot on - watched it all too and totally agree with your take; McCain had humility and decency but bring it on Barack O!

    I was going to do this but you've done it better.
    Pop and I tried to stay up for what I was sure was going to be a truly historic moment for America, well for everyone, but could'nt make it.

    Now it is possible to believe that anyone can become President and hopefully will inspire the youth, black or white, to pull their pants up and be proud.

    Lovely message Sazzie

    We're pretty excited, too, and I'm so exhausted today! I almost called in sick. My head hurts, my muscles ache, and I can't seem to wipe this silly grin off my face...

    Peace - D

    Well, if McCain and Palin had not spent so much of their time on the stump kicking sand and slinging lies about Obama and his 'friends' and his anti American leanings and his socialism and - insert your own negative remark here, I am sure they hit on it at some point - well if that hadnt happened McCain's supporters wouldnt have been so crass, rude and such poor sports.

    At Obama's speech when he brought up McCain's name NO ONE BOOed, they actually cheered ...

    You reap what you sow .. and since the Republicans sowed nothing but negativity ...

    Amen, amen, amen! It was a happy night last night. Delightful. It was a wonderful thing to stand in line with so many early in the a.m. out of the shared belief that the system is worth something, whatever way we leaned.

    Yes, McCain's speech was gracious and heartfelt and it's too bad a few booed. I was never for Obama for many reasons but I now put aside my feelings and pray that he will truly be able to unite America and the world to bring dignity and reason to our futures. Canadians did not have a vote yesterday, but they do have a stake in this new administration.

    Yep, a Canadian crying in the bathroom this morning while applying make-up. (Hard to put eye make-up on while crying.) Tears of relief!

    It is certainly a moment in history to be proud of. He looks and behaves very statesmanlike. I immediately felt confident when I saw his winning speech. This man is so charismatic and with a great caring pedigree. I look forward to seeing his progress.

    I stick to the meaning of Obama's first name in Arabic: blessed, breath of life, charismatic. It's all there and more so. I agree with what you've said so well Saz! Hx

Loneliness...

is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while. Remaining hidden amongst the layers of feelings and experiences we call life. Whilst walking alone through the streets of London, it lurked. Unacknowledged. Invisible. Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

On my way to work - Monochrome Monday

Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
