I'm so proud to be an american today. I feel so patriotic and am so excited for what this amazing man will do with his time in office. How amazing to see history in the making- cannons going off flags waving smiles on peoples faces. I hope I can instill the love I have for being an American in my boys. I have my mom to thank for my patriotism. She's always taught me to love my country. They played a song before he took the oath of office written by John Williams-played by a violinist a cellist and a clarinet player! It had hints of my very favorite hymn All creature of our god and King- it gave me chills and brought me to tears. It had a lightness and sense of hope for me and I'm sure for many other Americans. I hope things will change for the better. A better healthcare jobs for everyone,improved economy, an end to war and confidence brought back to our nation. I loved that it had such a spiritual nature to it. Prayers, scripture, hymns. It's nice to see thats still important to so many. I also love how he says we are a friend to each and every nation. I got chills just listening to him. Your country will judge you on what you can build not what you can destroy- that was a powerfu line. A huge point on enduring to the end. I'm glad I got to see this.
I wondered if you got to watch it too! I was watching and I cried more than once just thinking about how amazing that moment was and how much it meant to so many people. To think it was only a few decades ago. I'm going to write a blog too but right now I have to feed the children :)
