The occasion would have been well attended I am sure of it but I felt this was the only way to go and very well done considering the Pandemic, and needing all those security personnel because of that dreadful day on January 6th. The field of flags was amazing. The swearing-in ceremony I felt was cathartic and like Sallie I had tears of joy more than once, and yes it must have been cold but didn't they have a glorious day with the sun shining on them all? I enjoyed it all and what capped it off for me was listening to 22 year old Amanda Gorman reciting her very inspiring poem. Fabulous!

So glad because the ceremonies were so beautiful on the larger screen (and seeing the whole thing). I never would have sat glued to the iPad screen for hours. It was perfectly done and I cried tears of joy more than once. I know it didn’t change everything overnight (duh) but I feel like there is hope.

A friend said to me on the Sunday before the inauguration, "We know where you will be," and there I was glued to whatever device was closest at hand. I, too, was moved (to tears), riveted and impressed, and I, too, pray that there are better times ahead for everyone.

Hopefully, science will be respected (and its limitations explained rather than derided), opponents will not be given disrespectful nicknames and governance will be given greater priority than TV ratings and Twitter followers.

I think I wanted to see with my own eyes that he left. I was riveted to the inauguration. Like you, I was struck by how beautiful the flags were. I kept thinking what a wonderful scene to see in person. I was moved to tears, as Lady Gaga sang theSpangled Banner. The poet laureate was amazing...her poem as well as her recitation of that poem.

We did watch all of the inauguration yesterday and my better half watched most of the follow-on activities while I watched bits and pieces of it. Hope springs eternal but with many millions of citizens in complete opposition, the new administration faces a rough road ahead. Hopefully both sides will at least talk to each other and seek solutions to our problems. God Bless America...
