The Strength of Patchwork

I'm listening to President Barack Obama's inaugural speech. He just stated that
"our patchwork is a strength".

As in a quilt, differences can be stitched together to make a strong fabric.
*
And, differences can make beautiful music together:
What a memorable day!!

I loved that piece the orchestra performed.

We watched it at school, all the children in middle and upper school. The lower school watched together in other sections of the school.
Such a memorable day. And it's still going on!

Yes, yes.... this is a most special day indeed!

I was not able to see any of it on TV but heard part of it on the radio today. I am hoping I will be able to see some of it replayed on some TV station tonight!

Take care.

"Iy is time to put away childish things..." he said.

It is that, blogging sometimes can be seen that way when real life intervenes.

I hope your family will find peace..
