Independence Day!

 

Today is Independence Day here in the U.S.  There will be fireworks and picnics all around.  These days, I'm finding it a little hard to feel very patriotic.  Our country is so divided, I wonder if we will ever heal.  I think I'll just try to enjoy the fireworks and not dwell on the direction things appear to be taking.  At least for just this one day.  Happy 4th of July to all my American readers.

I was going to wish you a happy fourth, but it sounds like you feel the same way I do. I watched a show on tv.last night about the Ritchie Boys. They were described as the best of the Best Generation. Don’t know if you caught it, but it made me wonder how they feel about what is going on here. We will “celebrate” with my big family today, but I wish I felt more celebratory since I even find that division there.

May the 4th be with you.
PS: It seems to me that whole world is having problems.

There are many of us feeling the same way, maybe that is a good sign.

The whole world has to look for better solutions to problems... and learn to communicate peacefully.

It feels to me like the country is damaged. But there can be hope.

I must say, I ignored it completely. (Easy to do from this far away!)
