It's a time to reflect and appreciate all the contributions that others have made to my career and my life. My vision is nothing that hasn't been gleaned or understood from watching and working with so many people I admire before me.
I am proud to stand with the millions of women and men who recognize that our government should legislate according to the reality of our lives - not for ideology.
Living the past is a dull and lonely business; looking back strains the neck muscles, causing you to bump into people not going your way.
