Pride
I woke up really early this morning, tried to go back to sleep, and finally gave in – got up, turned on the computer, went to NPR.org, but paused before reading the headlines. My stomach in knots, my hands shaking. My country has confused me and even disappointed me so much in recent years…
When I saw the headline “Obama Sails To A Sweeping Victory”, my eyes filled with tears and I felt relieved. I am so proud of my country right now. I am so proud.
I’m listening to President-Elect Obama making his victory speech. Never been happier that I couldn’t sleep!

I agree with you Ann … I have pride in my country again. Change will take time and I hope people give Obama a fair chance to make a difference. Hopefully the world view of Americans can now also change for the better.
