yes we will

Lately it has been the little things in life that make me smile the most.

I just got back from running some errands. While waiting at a stop light on Park Ave, a white truck pulled up next to me and waited for me to turn and look at the drive. He was an average guy, mid to late thirties I'd guess. Instead of asking for directions like I expected, he asked where I got my Barack Obama bumper sticker. At a rally, I told him, but they can be purchased on his website.

The man responded that this is the first political candidate that he has ever been actually excited about.

We exchanged smiles, frustrations about the war, and well wishes as the light turned green. What an amazing connection. This short moment in my day has reaffirmed my faith in this country. This is a time for change, and the change agents are out there and active. I expected my bumper sticker to cause some sort of reaction from someone, at some point, but this was amazing. This morning on MSNBC a poll showed Obama with a 16 point lead above McCain. I think we can do this. I also believe we need to in order to heal the cities of this nation and reunite our divided populations.

Fired up and ready to go.
