Thank you, Hillary

.
Y
ou go along cruisin' life's highway, in your prime, headed toward great expectations, when Wham-O! Life slams a giant timbered gate shut in your path and sends you careening off in a totally different direction.

What seems the worst day of your life ends up opening the door to possibilities far beyond what you might have imagined.

Today, thank you Hillary Clinton, for the toughest speech you've ever had to give. And arguably, the best.

Today, you stand with Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Eleanor Roosevelt, a woman, a pioneer, a leader, a role model...a daughter, a wife, a mom. You transcend titles and labels and stand shoulder to shoulder with the icons of American history and the advancement of women.

You did good today, Hillary.

Well-deserved praise. With two candidates blazing a trail, cracking the glass ceiling, changing history it's a bit sad that each had to select this particular point in time to stake their claim. But perhaps "this particular point in time" DEMANDED that a leader step forward to save us from ourselves.
