Well, even if for a moment, something about BOTH candidates brought tears to my eyes.
OBAMA -- seeing all the black people for whom this is a HUGE step, considering the racial problems we've had for the past 200 years or so, slowly getting better but sometimes too slowly... I acknowledge that this is big. I didn't expect to get so teary-eyed over it, but when it was right there, happnening, I did feel this victory on behalf of all of my black (and other non-white) countrymen.
McCAIN -- hearing his gracious speech, remembering his heroism and how much he loves this country, knowing that was his last chance to win the White House... once again, I got tears in my eyes and felt thankful to him.
On a less sappy note, I've enjoyed playing with this interactive map, looking at the numbers...
I pray for our new president and our nation!

The twists and turns of the "scenic route" through life might slow down the journey. But it just might be more interesting, and at times quite beautiful.

- I'm a young-at-heart vagabond who still hopes to have a family that wants to adventure through life with me. I embrace opportunities to dive into nature, be cuddled by children, appreciate beauty of all kinds, and to share moments with friends, family, and new people. I'll never know what I want to be when I grow up, but I've made my peace with that. Just want to bring some joy and hope to others as I walk my path.
