Along with many others around the world, I had the joy of watching the presidential inauguration this morning. After the ceremony, I found my head and heart full of emotion and many words, some of which begged to be let out! I am sure that there will be many things written about and in response to the inauguration of Barack Obama. Here I offer up my two cents worth.
