America's going to be re-writing history today:

• Oldest President and first woman as V.P. to be elected?
• First Black President to be elected?

Does it matter?

Kind of...

...

...But once the media stops covering these "firsts", hopefully the rest of the nation will be in the hands of a President elect who will lead the country for its people, the world and not for themselves for the next 4 years.  It's an exciting, scary, emotional, thrilling, proud time to be an American at this point in US history as we still have the voice to elect the best leader for our country while breaking the thick, glass ceilings that may have held this country back for so long.

Times like this make me very appreciative that my ancestors fought for the freedoms that I have today.  The ability to have a blog site and to vote are just a few of those freedoms.  It also makes me proud of my parents to have raised me to be the educated, *hopefully* intelligent person that I am today with the ethical values I retain and utilize on a daily basis.

I am a very fortunate individual and pray that the future continues to be brighter and better for the world and the people who live in it.
