Wahoo! And the Defeater is....

Obama!
Last night I was finally finishing Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. I was so happy to finish the book. Next I am reading The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. Maizie and I watched the movie and it intrigued me to read the book.

Anyway, I set my finished book down and heard my neighbor yell out to one of his friends, "It's a new America!" I got up and looked out the window. Suddenly, I was overcome with emotion. He was right and I too felt like yelling out about how happy I was!

I went back to bed and my mind was a whirlwind of thought. I began to think about how we had just elected the first black president of the United States of America. I could barely contain my emotions and began crying. I was a tad taken aback with my emotion.

Tears of joy. For the first time in a long time I felt overwhelmed with hope for our country.

When Maizie woke up I told her that Obama defeated Mc Cain. She put up her arms, wiggled her fingers and shouted, "Yes! You are happy for Obama! He is the defeater!"

Yes, indeed.
