TO BE A PART OF...

I will say that I did not vote for Barack Obama however, Grace did in her kindergarten class in November and she was excited that he officially became President today. How important for her to think that she was one of the people who elected the President. I didn't want to get into the legal aspects of needing to be eighteen. Less is more, yes? Obama made a reference "...to be a part of something greater than ourselves..." in his inauguration speech and also in the letter he wrote to his daughters telling them that is when they will know their full potential. That really hit home. I too hope for my children to learn to be of service to others, to get past the "ME", to be a part of something greater than ourselves. And it starts by example, right?
