Joy Comes in the Morning ~ ~ ~

Just 8 more days until the Inaugural of our 44th president. On Election Night ~ V-Day! ~ I was mindful it would be 77 days until the President-elect would officially be in office.

It seems so very long ago.

The discussion, dialogue and debates have continued about the significance of Barack Hussein Obama being our next Commander-and-Chief. The campaign for change has taken on manifold dimensions since the election. A kaleidoscope of perspectives exists. What we see depends on the vantage point of our view. Throughout the protracted campaign, I learned to stay focused on the goal and do all that I could to contribute to the real possibilities of victory.

And victors we remain. Empowered to create the world that desire and deserve. Things are challenging on many fronts. The state of our economy and the status of world events pleads for a brighter day.

Hope is on the horizon.
The breaking of day approaches.

Not only because Obama will be officially be the president but because we can without delay, personally and collectively, take responsibility for the change that we declared.

So while I have quite mindful of the great day approaching, my count-down has not been unfruitful waiting. I have continually been conscious of my obligation to be and do my best today.

Yes joy is coming but the truth is that it is already here. The ushering into another level of purpose and destiny is progressive by design. I have learned to live in the moment and learn the lessons this day's life is teaching.

So let's embrace, be enlightened and enJOY today as we look forward to the promised beauty that tomorrow and most certainly January 20th will bring.
