Come to the park, but leave only your footprints.

Congratulations America,

     Today we accomplished, as one nation, an amazing feat. We peacefully changed leadership and created history in the process. America not only transitioned from one President to another or one political party to the other, but we put aside our differences and shared a feeling of pride in ourselves and our country. It does not matter who you voted for, today we all gathered around our new President and took a step closer to unity. 

     We are far from perfect and we have and will continue to make mistakes. Even on a day like today with the fan fair and celebration around the nation, our economy took another deep drop. We are still fighting battles (good or bad) all over the world and our near future looks as turbulent, if not more, than it is today. But this afternoon, that weight on our shoulders is a little lighter, the skies are a little brighter, and our obstacles seem a little less daunting.
