President Elect Obama

I cried.

.

I sighed.

.

I am relieved.

.

I have hope.

.

I made chocolate chip cookies.

.

I feel like dancing in the streets.

.

And now the work begins.

I watched Katie Couric on CBS for my election results. I like Katie. She's real. I'd go have a cuppa or a drink with her if she'd only call me...but I digress. With Katie was Byron Pitts, CBS National Correspondent who happens to be African American. He described his mother as having grown up in a time when she could have been in big trouble for looking a white woman or white man in the eye. He called her after Obama achieved the required 270 electoral votes:

.

"How do you feel about this, Mama?" Byron asked.

.

"I have four words for you: Glory Hallelujah! Glory Hallelujah!"

.

I agree with you, Mrs. Pitts.

.

Glory Hallelujah!
