This is what we did today after we voted.
I took Nate with me to the vote.
We stood in line and I felt powerful.
I felt like we could make a difference -- him and I.
As we stood in line, he kept asking,
"Where's Obama, mama?"
"Where's Barack?"
People looked over and smiled.
I felt a connection with my fellow Americans...
regardless of party.
I felt a connection which involves being a part of such an important and meaningful process.
Involving my opinion.
My choice.
As I stood behind the white cardboard booth, scribbling inside the lines of my little Democratic circles, I looked down at my son and almost cried.
He wanted to help me.
I told him he could help me push the ballot into the box and after I completed the ballot, I slid it into the manilla folder and handed it to him.
We stood in the ballot line and he asked about Obama again.
We reached the front of the line and as I handed him the ballot and tried to explain to him how to slide it into the scanning system,
I couldn't get the words out.
Knowing that if I were to provide him with instruction, that I would've started to cry.
I took a deep breath.
All I could get out was, "Push it in , sweetie."
And, he did.
And then, I teared up, thanked the volunteers and walked over to the African American woman handing out the "I Voted." stickers.
I looked at her with a secret smile...
her doing the same.
She gave me and Nate a sticker and just kept smiling.
A knowing smile.
A smiles that says, a new day has come.
I walked out knowing that she was right.
Today is a new day.
Tomorrow even moreso.
I felt so much pride to have my son join me on what I know will be one of the most historical days of my (and his) lifetime.
Get out and vote today! Feel free to grab this image and make it your social network profile pic. Tell the world you made a difference.

During an unscheduled stop (engine trouble) between one town and another in the Philippines and sat and watched the life of ordinary village Filipinos going about their everyday business. Quite a lot of the time not a lot is going on!
This was photographed during the run-up to local and national elections. Election posters were appearing everywhere – and many of the posted are asking the people to vote for candidates with some strange names. I just liked the juxtaposition between this man relaxing and the name on the poster above, combined with other advertising posters.
