It has been a long time since my last post. Covid has been a challenge as has the increase in fuel prices, food, campgrounds and our spirit. We here in America can overcome any challenge. We need to stop living in fear and start thinking for ourselves and be as self-sufficient as our ancestors were. We can help each other and come together with great hearts and hope. Courage is what we have to work through real or imagined threats to our health and freedom.
Today is Memorial Day. As a veteran, a wife of a veteran, mother of 2 veterans and grandmother to a veteran – I am proud to be able to live in our great country.
Recently I traveled to the British Isles and learned how young our country is. The British history is filled with wars, famine, plaques and even those forefathers of your country. What I learned was from even before the Romans occupied the Britain Isles, Vikings, Normans, Anglos and Saxons they have survivied, strong and proud. We are a young nation that has been given so much and yes by todays filters it was not done well. By the standards of history and many nations we are struggling to find our nations heart. We have a strong heart and we need to know that throwing things at us to give us false security with giveaways to those who make the most noise and learn that to not contribute and work is just fine. It is not. We will loose more and more if we do not find our core. We will or be America. Who knows What we will be.
We must learn from our real past, not todays politicians. Our constitution tells us is our real rights. Giveaways are not helping us. We are so much more than the politicians want us to realize.
As we look at the challenge of travel within our nation and enjoy family time seeing what our National Parks give us – lets not forget who we are and once again be proud of our American heritage. Every nation on earth has the good the bad and the ugly. Learn from the bad and ugly to make a better nation. We looked at “free” places to camp. Americans are creative. Many of these “free” areas help our struggling economy . That gives us a new memory, helps our budget and freedom. That’s what we do. Let’s keep on treating more good history not distraction and fear within our nation.
I am proud to be an American. I am not sorry on this day that I said what is in my heart. I have seen the horrors of war, the pain we can inflict on each other. Belfast is a terrible hurt to see and feel. I was shocked. I read about it but to see and feel what can happen when politics take over not our hearts and minds.
On this day, remember those that helped give us the freedom to move freely around this great nation. Do not loose to the greedy who want to take our freedoms and make us their prisoners.
God bless.
