It was a strange sensation for me to watch the first lady in the theatre and noise of the election speak so honestly and compassionately. Here the most famous woman in our country made me proud of America, proud of our president, and proud of who I am. I felt like she was speaking for me, not to me, and I became immensely proud. I wish that everyone would take a moment to watch - a solid 25 minutes of happiness.
It's often easy to get angry and impatient, and blame another, point fingers and get greedy. If we could all be a bit more compassionate, a bit more patient, and bit more generous then maybe we would stop taking all of our struggles for granted and keep pushing forward for what is right, together. At a time when we are being barraged by political ads and told how lousy each candidate is, and getting all up in each other's faces about Republican vs. Democrat and all of the lies in-between, it's humbling to hear a speech about kindness, pride, and sacrifice. I'm ready to be this proud for the next four years, are you?
