Celebrating a new spirit

Nobody knows how long it will last, but there's a new spirit in the air. I've been noticing a new politeness on the subway, people saying "I'm sorry" more frequently than ever if, for example, they step on your foot or hit your arm with an oversized backpack.

This must be because of the election of Barack Obama. While I missed the live celebration, I watched every minute on TV and even sheded tears of joy. I have been reading every article and report about the election and its effect on people. It's more than positive, it's an incredibly happy moment - if you're not a Republican, of course.

It really feels like a brand new day! (Despite the economy).
