America

Today is a historic day and it's something I never thought I would ever see in my lifetime.   Growing up I would hear you can be anything and do anything you want, but I saw it in my Mother's eyes, that we couldn't do anything, there were limitations.  Now, as Barack Obama swears on a bible that he will do all he can do as President of the United States of America and the Obama family move into the White House, I now can truly tell my daughter and believe it, that it is possible to do anything.  This transcends race, religion, and sexual orientation; this historic event is truly a world event.  People from England, Korea, the Netherlands, Iran and many other countries are in Washington because an African American has been elected to become president in a country that used slaves to build this country, as well as build the White House.  So, these countries are looking at us with hope for their countries to make a world change.  Congratulations President Barack Obama, may God be with you and your family.             Enjoy this day because it's for all of us.  

When do you know when its over?

After much contemplation, exhaustive discussions, arguements and tears, our marriage is over.  For months I didn't want to admit the truth and looked past the signs but, everything down deep into my bones knew it was over.  So, why didn't I want to see it?  I asked myself about the fear of being alone, going back onto the dating scene (which is a nightmare), but that wasn't it.  

I didn't want to be a failure.  I didn't want to admit that it didn't work, "we" didn't work.  I didn't want to admit that the love we had wasn't enough.  You can love someone so much and think you will spend the rest of your life with them, then its over.  The ending of a relationship is hard, too hard but we will get through this, hopefully as friends, someday.
