Barack Obama – Mark this Day

by Leslie on November 6, 2008

BarackObama2005portrait Barack Obama   Mark this DayI am happy he won. I have been amazed at how American can have voted for Bush twice and now the same people have just voted for someone so very different – strange people.

I currently watch the world wondering what is going to happen next, interesting times we live in.

Then a presenter on the news told us that Obama is only 47 years old. Hardly a year older than me; now that just depresses me – comparing ain’t so good some times.

Does any of it make any difference to me?  I will get up tomorrow morning and keep on doing what I do.

I remember walking the Camino for a few weeks.  I did not know what was happening in the world at the time – and I was happy without the news.  How much news do I really need?  And how much of it is not good for me?

I know many who have started to filter their own news…
