This is Something Special

Yesterday I was shopping at Goodwill. I love the place, and am there often. As I was browsing around I heard the cashier ask a customer if she had plans for the inauguration. I thought this was an odd, but cool question. I would expect it from someone in the literature department at a college or even the co-op, but Goodwill? When it was my turn to check out the cashier asked me the same question. He proceeded to tell me he had changed his schedule in order to watch it. As I left I thought about the enormity of what he had said and done. This inauguration and hope for change in America is something different. Something so worthwhile that many more Americans are taking notice of it than ever before. How proud it makes me feel.
