Excited, Excited!!!

You know. Its finally starting to creep in. That anticipation of new things to come.

In just 2 teeny little days the world will have a new leader in power.

Gone that awful, dangerous hedonist who was only after his own ignorant, egocentric means. Who did so much long-term harm to this world. I have so often wondered how things would have been had Al Gore got in. Oh so different. Now we are wobbling and spinning out of control on so many axes, not only "The great Axis of Evil". (What a stupid fool whoever coined that phrase... oh,... was it Dubyah??!.. ha.. surprise). Obama has a daunting task ahead of him, kind of like those B grade drama movies where the pilot is pulling back on the levers with all his might to keep the plane from plunging to the earth.

I'm not normally one for US politics and Dubyah certainly turned me off completely. But I am excrutiatingly conscious of how much impact the US has on the earth we all share. So a tiny flame was lit inside me reading this wonderful blog The Gold Puppy by Reya in Washington DC. She sowed the seed for an excitement that is growing, spreading through my veins. It really IS happening. There IS hope. WE CAN DO THIS! We can make the world a better place.

Thought for the day: We share this precious earth with all living beings. We like to think of ourselves as superior - we are not. And we should not be fooled into this concept.

My daily inspiration: Wild Wonders of Europe and especially the blog by Magnus .
