I spent the day trying to work from home but was distracted by history being made, the inauguration. Amazing. I don't care what political affiliation someone is, they have got to appreciate the significance of the events that took place yesterday. I am truly proud of what our country did. They voted in favor of a change, not just in politics, but in human equality. This wasn't the US just talking the talk, like they have been since the Civil Rights movement. This was America walking the walk.
In the evening, a friend of mine threw a snow celebration party. Nothing like celebrating the little things. We gathered together to sled down her hill on what ever objects we could find (trays, wake boards, lids, etc.). We had a snowball fight. Afterwards we went in to eat pizza, watch the Duke v. NCSU basketball game and/or play card games.
People don't play card games enough. I am so fortunate to find a group of people that enjoys them as much as I do. We played Cribbage and Pinochle. Time flew by and before we knew it, it was midnight and we all had to run off like Cinderella as the clock struck midnight before our dresses turned to rags and we returned to being responsible adults. I ended the day with my mind feeling quiet. Still. At peace.
