I’ll second that emotion, Ed!
It is more than wow. This is splendid!
🙂
About sums it up…still can’t believe it
Ha! That’s the perfect response.
Amen
Wow is right! As someone who is young – 25 – I am astounded by the history we are living. Incredible.
I’m totally stunned by how emotional I am about this!
Wow indeed!
I couldn’t vote for Obama because of his position on abortion, but I couldn’t vote against hiim, either.
I’m thankful he won– thankful for him, for my nephew, for those in my family who voted for him, for my son’s aide at school, for the country.
For you!
I say “Wow” at the number of “comments” your simple post evoked. (More than the sum total of all my blog postings over the past eight months. Am I a loser, or what?)
‘Wow’ is correct. That night seriously seemed like the end of the world (in a good way – it felt accomplished and complete). It was odd waking up the next morning.
You got that right!
Time will tell.
History
Oh, I missed this one!
I love how you just gave it a title. That is so…
you.
Clever indeed.
