Living in America

First, I am grateful to have a "I was there..." story that brings me to a place of civic pride instead of horror and dismay. It was tough at work. I fought like hell not to succumb to emotion and remain professional. Needless, to say I was reduced to a blubbering mess at various times throughout the day.


After the November 4, 2008 election, my friend called from Ghana saying "You Americans are a great people!! A great people!" He is absolutely right. It feels good to be American. E pluribus unum-Out of Many, One.

So, now the work of begins for all of us.


***Here is an interesting tidbit taken from Wikipedia.***
"Never codified by law, E pluribus unum was considered a de facto motto of the United States until 1956 when the United States Congress passed an act (H.J. Resolution 396), adopting In God We Trust as the official motto."

Random Thought of the Day:
The national motto always makes me wonder whose God do we trust and why?
