~Ralph Waldo Emerson
What place are you grateful for?
I'm grateful for this wonderfully diverse, beautifully scenic country that I live in.
America is not without its problems.
We are a nation divided by politics, by race, by finances, by just about everything. We have homeless veterans and abused children and mass shootings.
But those problems are everywhere. No nation is immune to the ugliness of human nature.
What makes America the incredible country that it is is the pride and patriotism of its people. Go to any small town on July 4th and you will be overwhelmed with red, white and blue. Play "God Bless the USA" and I dare you not to sing along. Watch our nation come together when a natural disaster befalls our people..... or any other country.
Americans are great. As Willie Nelson said, "To me, America is freedom".
