I received an e-mail from our agency representative in Ethiopia this morning who said that she stayed up all night listening for the results of our election and cried when she heard that Barack Obama was elected President. She said that this result has given her hope that one day her grandchildren will see this exercise of democracy and freedom in Ethiopia. Not only has this historic election given hope to millons of Americans in this country, but it has also given hope to millons of people around the world. It gives me the chills!

That makes me teary eyed, but just about everything I have read today has as well.
We were mesmerized by the TV last night...what great change there is in store for us. Yes. We. Can.
we GOT HOPE...I almost cried while by myself in the living room while Noah slept upstairs...It was an awesome feeling!
