Those open arms.
Eyes, looking up and forward.
And a tie that's not hanging down to his crotch, a suit coat that buttons over his belly, and the ability to string 4 words together without dismissing or damning or disparaging another human being.
Four years ago I was distraught, straining for a glimpse of the Obamas behind the Trumpian phalanx of deplorables. Today I am going to make every sweet thing I can imagine for breakfast, and sprinkle sugar over those things which don't normally require it. I'm going to concentrate on hope and courage and confidence in America.
Tomorrow, I want them to take down those horrible black barriers and gates. Tomorrow, I want them to start sharing the charges they'll level against the Terrorist in Chief and his minions. Tomorrow, I will give vent to the rage that I have been storing up for 4 long and torturous years.
Today, I'm going to celebrate. I'm going to clear my brain and scrub the corners where Trump lint has been lurking. It's the start of a new era, with a clear vision of what's gone wrong and what we need to do to fix it.
That's my plan, and I'm sticking to it.
Hurray!!
ReplyDeleteI am praying for calmer heads and peace.
I'm in red white and blue from head to toe!

I woke up cheering--it's inauguration day!!
ReplyDeleteHere's to a better life for all of us who have been holding our breath, just waiting for the next worst thing. The grownups are back in control.
It's been such a good day!

I have the song "Ding Dong the Witch is dead, the wicked witch, the wick witch...." stuck in my head. Can't imagine where that came from.
ReplyDeleteIt's finally over.
Gee.... I wonder..... :-)

I wore my pink pussy Resist hat today in a rebuke to the Orange Idiot and in memory of and tribute to Aged Parm. How happy she would have been to see this day.
ReplyDeleteTBG and I constantly mourn for those who died while the former resident still occupied the White House. Aged Parm is smiling up there, right with RBG and John Lewis. I do believe that kindred souls find one another <3
