A day for history

Nomally, i try to work in quiet and certainly without a TV on. Today however, my TV has been on since 7 am and although I am trying to get some "work" done, I find it hard to peel my eyes away from the screen as I watch this historic ceremony, as our 44th President is sworn in to office. What an amazing sight, all of the people who traveled down to the mall to be there on this occasion - people packed in as far as you can see, as well as on rooftops and office terraces and balconies near by, just to bear witness , in person, to this event! Living and working in the Washington DC metro area I have a real appreciation of how many people that really is - I have walked that mall many times, driven down Constitution all the way to the Capitol , it really is a huge area! I just feel so inspired and proud to see how our country is coming together and excited about its leadership, never in my lifetime have i ever seen anything like this, and i am just happy I lived to see it.
