And Mama Biden. Love her too.

A smart president. A well-spoken president. A president who inspires hope instead of fear. I am weeping.
Oh God, yes. That was a wonderful speech.

It's so nice to be filled with hope, rather than rage. I don't know if I recognize myself anymore.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I am so thankful for the opportunity to listen to a speech by a leader who can make me tear up with joy and hope instead of cringing in dread or seething in contempt.

I am a language girl. Hyperbole, sweeping generalizations, symbolism, timing, pacing....yeah, I know it.
I don't CARE. I do NOT care. I wept, I clasped my hands, I said amen. I felt hope instead of defeat.

My jaded heart has broken...open.
I can't help but sob and sob with the realization that the thing I've struggled for my entire adult life may have actually come to pass.

I can be proud to be an American.
