...watching the inauguration.

After all that has happened, and in the midst of an ongoing pandemic made worse by the previous evil in the WH, this moment is so full of hope and pain, loss and promise...

Same here. Watching Harris being sworn in really got to me. The poet laureate was incredible as well... one of the highlights.

Yes!! I made it a point to write down her last two lines:

There is always light
if only we are brave enough to see it.

If only we are brave enough to be it.

For the first time in a long time, the sun was shining bright in Chicago! Let the light shine in all the dark places uncovered these last 4 years....

Same here. Finally, a woman in high office, Amanda Gorman and am realizing now, a weight and stress lifting.

In my Japanese class, I taught students the word 感動 (to be moved) and told them how moved I was to see the swearing in of VP Harris. Smiler

I’m a little sad that all the sh!t that’s been going on since the election feels like it’s overshadowed some of this. I don’t know about you all, but I’m wishing for a super boring 2021.

I realized how much I've been enjoying the lack of drama and chaos with Trump off Twitter. No more Sturm und Dreck.

Add my vote for boring.

The whole day was joyous. I am so happy his picture won’t be in the media every day going forward.

The nightmare is over.

Why I took the photo at Beau Biden's grave that is going viral
