Proud to be an American in Japan

Thank you for this gift, President Obama. 

It is nice to feel a newfound sense of patriotism that I have tucked away for the last 8 years. President Obama - you brought the heat and I am ready to cook in the kitchen, baby!

Yes, I cried when watching his speech.  Yes, I watch his speech EVERY night before I go to bed.  Yes, I know the road is tough for Obama, but I choose to believe that he can bring this nation back from a sense of panic, shame, and despair.  Look at what he has already done for our nation, our world.  We have hope for a better future, and, if nothing else, we are more united than we have been in a long time.  Feels good.  

YES WE DID, folks!
