what a day tomorrow shall be

i look forward to tomorrow with great anticipation. i am thrilled to be able to view President Barack Obama's inauguration with my students. i plan to let history that is being made before our eyes teach for me. i cannot imagine doing anything different. i'm sure that there will be writing assignments and discussions to come out of tomorrow's events, but i feel the most significant impact i can have on my kids tomorrow is to expose them to the greatest historical event in modern times.

i am awed and inspired and elated that our society has grown, become open-minded, and returned to a working-together attitude. this is a society that i am happy to raise addison in, one that i can be proud of. i am glad that not only will addison learn from us that all people are one, but that she will be able to see that reflected in her every day life. tomorrow is just the beginning. i can only imagine where we will go from here. and i cannot wait to find out.

love to you all!
