It's Here... Inauguration Day 2009
I echo the words spoken by George W Bush last week as all the past Presidents met at The White House with President-elect Obama. He said, in essence, We all have one thing in common, We want you to succeed. Because we love this great nation and if you succeed, we are all better off.
On this historic Inauguration Day, 2009, My prayers are with our new Leader, President Barack Obama, as well as all leaders of this great nation, The United States of America. May we be united in our prayers for peace, healing, and the success of our Country.
Most moving to me was the letter written by President Obama to his two young daughters.

I am excited to watch the Inauguration Ceremony and festivities as they unfold. I still remember watching Jimmy, Rosalyn, and Amy Carter WALK in the Inaugural Parade. OK, I am old enough to admit, I can remember watching Richard Nixon take the oath of office on his family Bible with his wife and children present (I was only 7 years old, but I remember watching it and learning his middle name was Millhouse...silly point of reference, but I just remember it)
A Patriotic Day such as this calls for Red, White, and Blue Jell-O parfaits!
How will you mark this Inaugural Day?
