I'm bitter and resigned about many global, and national issues and conditions. But I'm not bitter about what has occurred in my personal life, though much of my life hasn't been sweetness and light.

For the most part, my faith that I am not alone and my belief that "the Creator has a master plan" for me as well as for the world sustains me. Thanks to that, and thanks to change agents for the good like Senator Obama, inspite of the bitterness and resignation that I feel sometimes more than other times, I dare to hope.
