Good Fortune to You, Mr. President

Pundits and spin-doctors be damned. Today is a Historic day in the history of the United States of America. If you couldn’t feel it, then I don’t know what to say to you.

If you felt it, then you know what I am talking about.

Regardless, from this point forward, if you love America or, at minimum, have a vested interest in her continued survival as a nation, you should be praying/wishing/hoping for nothing but success for this new President. To wish for anything other than wisdom, compassion, and strength for the man means simply that you are not a friend to America. And that’s OK. It’s your prerogative.

But if you are a friend to America, if you love Her and everything She stands for, then your thoughts and prayers should be with President Barak Obama for the months and years to come. You don’t have to agree with everything he believes in. You don’t have to like all of his decisions. I may sound like an Obama zealot, but I am not. What I am is someone who does not want to see this country crumble. I am someone who wishes for peace, love, and compassion in this world. I may hold a different opinion than the President regarding certain matters, but I wish him nothing but success guiding this nation for the next four years.

As I recently told a friend at work, success is not about luck but about effort, effort and heart. LOTS of heart.

Good fortune to you, Mr. President. My future, the future of my children, and the futures of countless souls across this planet who now believe that…yes, they can…depends on your success.
