another boring inauguration blog.......

mind you i am not at all politically active.... but watching the special obama show has me moved it gives me hope that things might actually be changing.. for the better.  all the people coming together to share the feeling of hope they have the feeling of excitement the feeling of change in the air. i shudder to think how hard it is going to be after the dust settles and he takes the oath of office and goes in to clean up after bush. after all it causes me tremendous stress to to go in and clean up after the "lazy" person at work the dirty laundry piles the dishes in the sink, overflowing trash can. i cant imagine the mess he is going to face- the mounting issues that have lead to the down fall of the economy, not to mention the crisis over seas.  i cant go into work expecting to be caught up in an hour i have to take the baby steps to get caught up with the daily chores all while keeping on the happy face not letting people i work for know i am stressed. obama will have a much bigger mountain to climb and while the changes wont be readily apparent i know for the first time he is actually working for the people who voted him in not the people who paid for his campaign.  i know i will not be complaining that much anymore because i know i have nothing to complain about. i have a job - most people don't have a job or have been laid off in the area that is already small.. or so many stores have closed i cant even count them on both hands people are hungry worried about were their next meal is going to come from. as i write this the things i feel are "wrong" in my life i know i can work on. getting to college and obtaining a decent education. i am smart i know i can do these things its time i do them. i can make the change for me. however its also time to pay it forward and find some place i can volunteer, in some respects i have been more lucky than i feel i deserve,  . get out to my community and help start by going to church "gulp"joining a group  and start changing one small step at a time.
