President Biden. Vice President Harris.

What a wonderful thing to type. What a weight off of our nation's shoulders. The President hit the ground running yesterday by getting some pressing executive orders taken care of.
They say that today is his first full day in office, but - from my view - a lot a things were done yesterday. Today's schedule is just as packed:


Yesterday, was a very good day. It wasn't until the ceremony at Arlington Cemetery happened that I realized the Occupant did the world a favor by not partaking. I mean that sincerely. I actually liked seeing the former Presidents. I didn't feel the stress or anger that I had felt the past four years whenever I heard or saw him.

The abuser was finally out of the house and our family started a path toward healing. Yes, we must unite, but: you don't have to unite with your abuser. Healing must begin and healing takes its own time. It takes a conscious effort, but it cannot be rushed.

Americans of good faith were victims, and I think we know the main victimizer and his enablers have to do their own soul searching if they want. If they don't, they will be the ones left behind, deservedly so. They no longer have control of our lives unless we let them.

I refuse to let them. Today is a new morning in America. How beautiful is that?
