We've come a long way, Baby.

And it's about darn time.

In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't that long ago when signs like this were a common thing in the south. My mother was born and raised in this type of environment, and many members of her family are still of this mindset, but thankfully Mom never was. She and I may not have gotten along at times, but because of her I have never felt this type of thing was right. Thanks Mom.

And now we have elected our first African-American president. Yes, we have come a long way, and hopefully the future will remain as bright as it looks right now.

Another good thing...the political phone calls are now over.

New Blog - Day One

Well, here it is. My own little blog. It's not really my first. I did set one up for my writers group, but it didn't go over too well with the group. I may still pick it up one day as a way to share writing prompts and such. Who knows.

As I write this, it looks like history has been made. CNN.com is projecting Barack Obama as the winner of the Democratic Primary. I'm not Republican or Democrat; I believe in voting for the right person for the job. I have closely watched the Democratic Primaries this time around, one reason being it is history in the making. We were looking at either our first female, or first African-American presidential candidate. Like I said, HISTORY.

So, there it is. My first personal blog entry. Short...maybe not sweet...but it's mine. This may not be a daily thing, but hopefully five times a week at least. We'll see......
