DC in One Week

I don't know why I decided to go to DC for the inauguration. I know when though. I remember the exact moment. I was sitting on my couch in the livingroom and watching the election results. They had just announced that Obama had won the election. I was watching the crowds in Chicago cheering. It was right then. I knew I wanted to be there when he was inaugurated. It was a huge wave of emotion that arose in me. I would go to Washinton DC for the inauguration and be part of the crowds. Sometimes when I have a strong arising I just follow it. I don't try to analyze it. I just follow my feelings and see what happens. This is one of those times.

So in one week I'll be in Washington DC, standing somewhere along the Mall in the freezing cold with millions of people and watching Obama being sworn in on Jumbotron TV's. I am SO excited.
