I Voted for Obama, My Heart is Soaring!

    I was worried about long lines after work so I went to vote early this morning.  Actually, I was so excited I thought I would burst if I had to wait all day to go vote. 

     So I went down to the fire house (yes, I live in Mayberry) and voted.  There were 3 tables for the different districts.  One had no line, one had a line of 12 people and I only had 2 people ahead of me.  I can barely express my excitement when I pulled the lever (as we do in NY) and voted for Obama.  My heart soared!

     And then when I went back to my car I burst into tears.  Tears of joy, tears of relief.  I never thought that I would vote for an African American for President in my lifetime.  It is a historic day!

     When I listened to Barack Obama speak at the Democratic convention 4 years ago my first thought was, " he should run for President."  My next thought was, "but he would never be nominated."

     But Barack Obama was nominated and is going to win.  That's not a prediction, that's a fact.  I am so proud to be an American.  My heart soars!
