Watershed Moment

There are times in history that are watershed moments. The Election of 1800, the Election of 1860, the passage of women's suffrage, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and the release of the Iranian hostages come to mind for moments that changed history. Today brings promise of change. I look past the clearly obvious fact that President elect Obama will be our first African American President but rather to the potential of having a statesman who could have such a positive effect on our society and culture. This is a moment of trial and challenge and how we react as a country (and world) will be greatly influenced by our new president.
It is a day filled with excitement and hope. Maybe it will be a watershed for great things to come.
