Today is President Barack Obama's OFFICIAL first day on the job, his inauguration was yesterday and the crowds that attended his ceremony in Washington D.C. was astounding- to say the least.
Like so many others who believe in him, well- not just in him, but his beliefs that America can rise once again to be a great nation, I wish the new President well and have the utmost faith that how he chooses to govern this nation will not only say a lot about his great character, but that it will also speak volumes to how this country handles itself in the midst of ALL of the disasters that Bush allowed us to get in.
I don't care what anyone else says, Barack Obama stands right now- as the right man at the right time.
We should all give him our support, even if we didn't cast a vote for him.

So It's Belated Happy New Year To YOU Then
Plans were to write a blog on New Years eve and then another blog on New Years day. Instead, my mom cooked a homemade dinner of spaghetti, meatloaf, pinto beans, & cornbread that made me say "Damnitall!!" to everything else. LOL. So I pushed back a subject that I wanted to speak about, especially in time for the New Years. Bear with me on this one, I promise it's going somewhere.
People & Happiness
No doubt, many of us have had a less than stellar 2008. In fact, I'm pretty sure that most of us want the year 2009 to be a LOT better than the year which just left us a few days ago. I think so many of us have made resolutions to find/be/maintain our happiness, but then in the blink of an eye, it all goes wrong.
So why does this happen? Why do we resolve to seek happiness in the New Year and then lose sight if that goal?
Well, to be honest with you- it's because of the people and events you have going on in your life at that time.
Sometimes, just when you're seeking your happiness the most, there's always going to be someone out there who literally just won't/can't stand to see you happy. In spite of this though, we as a people need to learn the subtle art of "shake 'em off".
Why?
Because NOBODY is ever going to care more for or about your happiness than YOU. For everyone who made a resolution this year saying "I want to be happy', or "I'm going to find my happiness', then get out there and make it what it is. We all fall victim to it, because sometimes- family and friends hate on your happiness more than people you don't know.
A lot of us have forgotten that true happiness starts from within our own heart and soul. So when it comes down to it, make everything you do a celebration. Live your life. Laugh out loud. Take this brand new year and make the best of it. When you find your happiness, there are going to be scores of people who are probably going to hate on you for always having a smile on your face. Know what to do about that?
Just look at those hating on you, and don't pity them. Instead, bestow upon them a wish for them to learn how to have some happiness for themselves too!
Happiness is infectious, just like smiling is contagious. Spread them both as much as you can in this New Year. Give your thanks to whoever you pray to. Live your life and don't be bothered about those who say things against you. Share your happiness with those who are less than happy. Resolve to make this year, 2009- YOUR YEAR.
In the end, you might just be suprised about all the things you haven't had time to worry about!
