Tonight 20 Years Ago

Tonight 20 years ago I could not Blog about this
Tonight 20 years ago I was 19 years old
Tonight 20 years ago I was at the U of U
Tonight 20 years ago I was watching my TV in AWE
Tonight 20 years ago I went to bed...not as worried about Nuclear War
Tonight 20 years ago I went to bed on a twin bed at my mom's house
Tonight 20 years ago I was standing with the German people
Tonight 20 years ago I was crying at the thought of unity
Tonight 20 years ago I was spurred on by the courage of a people
Tonight 20 years ago I watched a power tool used so eloquently
Tonight 20 years ago I had the words "tear down this wall" reverberating in my head
Tonight 20 years ago I had not met Gretchen
Tonight 20 years ago I went to bed
Tomorrow 20 years ago I woke up to a brand new world...more courageous...more empowered...less afraid...
My old maps...my old school books...they were now WAY out of date and ((hopefully)) useless forever!
