Gratituesday 1.19.21 - A New Day
I was reading the details of tomorrow’s Inauguration festivities this afternoon, and I have to admit that I got a little emotional. People have been sharing an updated video of ‘A Brand New Day,’ from The Wiz since November. We are living in tough times, and unfortunately the current administration made it worse. I really hate how divided we are, and I truly do not understand how anyone could have supported the current President. However, with the changing of the guard, I am optimistic. With Kamala Harris, we have lots of firsts. First woman, first Black and first South Asian VP. It does feel like a new day dawning. From what I can see, Biden is nominating a truly diverse group of people to fill his cabinet. A gathering of leaders that is starting to match the diversity of the population of this great country. Can this administration solve all of our woes? Of course not. However, they certainly are willing to fight for things I care about. Or at least they say they will. For the time being, I am going to give them the chance and encouragement to put their platforms into action. Just as I gave the last administration. Hopefully, Biden and Harris will indeed work to unify the country and bring healing and equality to all.
As we step into a new day, it’s a good chance for us all to take stock of where we are. Reflect on the good things, and look at the improvements I can personally make. Care to join me? Awesome. The comment section is always open for you to share your thoughts, questions and dare I say, your own lists. Off we go!
