Rebirth

It is so difficult to find the words to describe the past week.

About the inauguration itself much has been written that expresses, far more eloquently than I can, the feelings of our citizens and the citizens of the world.

But what has been most notable for me is that the hope, the feeling of pride, has not faded since last week Tuesday.

It's hard to believe after enduring the nightmare of the last eight years...but my god, we actually have a president who is honoring his oath of office to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Who is honoring the words he spoke in his Inaugural Address:
As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils that we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man -- a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience sake.

He's keeping his campaign promises. Click here to see how.

We finally have a government that, rather than holding itself above the law or breaking the law, is actually working to follow the rule of law which is a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy.

Another positive step - he's lifted the global gag order.

With each executive order and presidential memorandum, our country is regaining its purpose and place in the world.

Doesn't it feel grand?
