Tuesday is brought to you...

by the number:and not just 20 but 

MAXIMUM 20, 

and that my friends is a very big number

for a very extraordinary day

it was a history in the making kind of day

and I would have LOVED to be in Washington today

the energy would have been amazing.

Instead I watched it at work in the lunchroom with

a few others 

and I was enthralled with his message

and the strength of his convictions.

I so hope that he will continue to rise above the 

"old school" thinking of Washington past 

and REALLY TRULY make a difference

and if anyone can I really do 

believe he is the best to lead us

and I do mean "us" 

as in my eyes he is a 

people leader and not just the President of the US.

his messages

of perseverance, strength, tolerance, change and hope

can and I hope will reside in the hearts and minds of all

regardless of your race, religious belief and citizenship.

His challenge as I see it, is much more

than fixing the economy and finding peace 

as none of these items will be fixed

just because he said they need to change

nor can he do these things single handily

his biggest challenge as I see it is to 

mobilize people of all walks of life

with their own perceptions and personal agendas

to come together, to take the hard, less travelled path

of hard work, self responsibility and kindness to others

to achieve peace, fairness and equality.

I am not sure yet what I personally will do

but I know it will be something

as I believe in his message, in hope and

I definitely believe in PEACE.

and for those of you that made it to the end of my wordiness I reward you with a few random pictures from today and yesterday.

my "heart" grilled cheese from lunch today

the icy river on my way from Crave and a cupcake treat with my friend Miranda

a picture I liked of Kaeden (while he was sledding with his friend Max yesterday) 

another beautiful tree picture...I seem to be getting quite the collection of them

and such a treat to see a dog run with such power & speed

as you know it would be a rare moment around here to see  any such action from Diti
