Happiness Is

It should be no surprise to our friends and family that we are a liberal family. We are not overly above and beyond in any respect but yes, we certainly were very saddened when our current President won yet again in 2004.

We had our heart set on this election. We craved a change that would resonate beyond our existence and with the grace of god we got it!

It is not at all that I believe that having this new president will specifically change anything in particular in our humble little home, town or even state. I still know that we will continue to struggle to work to make ends meet, to get out of debt, to try to balance work and home life. But what our new President-elect brings to my mind is HOPE.

Hope that some day, maybe not in my lifetime but in my childrens lifetime, that there will be an America that I have never known. An America that I have read about, dreamed about and even envisioned.

This America will treat all citizens equal no matter what, period. This America will really be the land of opportunity for everyone, not just the selected few with the most money. This America will be free from injustice, free from hardships and everyone will have access to the most basic of needs.

This new America, I know, will not come about overnight. Nor will it come in our new presidents first term or even in eight years. But, in my heart of hearts I feel it. I feel that our new president will lead us. He will help us all to see the greater picture. He is our guide to this new America.

He is not alone, he has enlisted all of us to help in our own way. To change what is not right. I am there. I am with him all the way. I will do whatever it takes for my County to make this place the very best that it can be for my wonderful, smart, beautiful daughter and for my sweet, smart, handsome son. They, more than anyone else deserve this victory, they deserve the new America.

Say it with me: President Barack Obama. Oh yes and if all works out for the best, someday we could say: President Alison Sokoloff or President Daniel Sokoloff. Both get my vote!
