A thin veil of KoolAid

So, I can write anything I want here. I know that no one reads it, not even me.

Yeah, just like the subject said. So, i spent 2 weeks trying to figure out what the heck password I used. until I finally reset it.

I saw this on another journal and stole it for here:

Where would you see yourself in ten years?
Working as a midwife at a different setting, but still busy. Visiting my kids at college/new homes. Playing with my first grandchild.

Like the majority of people I know, I watched the inauguration. I had two friends with me, unfortunately, my family was not here. The schools said they would be showing it live, but ended up using the CNN feed, which was spotty at best. My son said he wished he had stayed home so he could see it better.

I was surprised by my reactions. I actually had goosebumps and tears. Lately, I have not been feeling that deeply about things. I don't think that is all bad, but sort of weird. Today proved that with the right stimulus, I will still have deep reactions.

Obama's speech was well done. It spoke to me and I found myself shouting out "Yes. Exactly" It is nice to have someone in charge who I can agree with. Someone who really appears to have listened to the people and taken what they have said to heart.

I am grateful that I was alive to see this happen, more grateful that my children will grow in a world that is changing for the better.

My biggest hope for the next four years would be an improvement in health care. Specifically, I hope we end up with universal health care. It may not be a perfect system, but truly our system now is not much better.

I also hope that midwives become the leaders for normal birth. That we end up with proper respect and compensation.

I am amazed that I can still learn so much about human nature every day.

Not everyone is nice. Not everyone wants to be friends. Not everyone can play well with others. Sometimes there are mean people. Sometimes it amazes me who can be mean for fun.

I'm glad that I am where I am, and I am who I am. Not perfect, not always happy, but overall in a good life.
