my words don't really cut it tonight when so many eloquent ones have been said.
like the incredible acceptance speech of our next president. watching it with other americans and some aussies in a sydney pub called the slide lounge with the "democrats abroad" group. the experience and words were truly moving. men next to me were crying. i was crying.
we all feel invigorated and for the first time in a long time feel proud and are uplifted by a true sense of hope.
then we sang the star spangled banner. then they had a red, white and blue elephant shaped pinata. then i walked home, beaming and dancing apparently to the music in my ipod.
i was such a spectacle of happiness that an older woman beamed at me from her porch, got up and started dancing too.

I am so happy you had such a wonderful experience with the announcement of "Hope" in our country. I felt like Michelle Obama because it's the first time I felt truly proud to be an American.
