So,
It's February in 2009, and I realize I have finally begun to feel like Obama is president. Looking back a year ago, it's quite amazing all we have gone through. So many emotions, so many ups and downs, and so often it was shared in a group. Ah, the beauty of community. Some day, when I look back at this time period I will not only remember the wonderful tension of the Obama campaign, but I will also associate it with my Moishe House community (and with tons of pictures to prove it!). The debates, the volunteering, election night at Grant Park, our inauguration celebration... all of these are shared memories.
And now comes the normalcy and inevitable regularity of life. The normalcy of politics, the normalcy of world problems, and the normalcy and depression of a recession. Well, at least we got some shoulders to lean on.
Happy February,
~Elana
