HAPPY BIRTHDAY

"DECONFLICTION":  Being aware of  polarization & trying to heal it.

"Pain is often a given in life, but suffering is optional!" ......

     I gave my family a "foundation" of my values and beliefs but I also taught them to think for themselves in making life choices after leaving home. Part of this "birth right" is stated beautifully in our First Amendment to the Constitution.

     My Ancestry has fought in ALL American wars since 1607 Jamestown arrival from England. Whether your family is "new"
legally to this country or born here you become AMERICAN!
"Irish-American", "Polish-American", etc. etc. It is an "earned"
privilege...not a "right" to walk over an imaginary line or walled
border!

   
If you have the financial means to leave America and you cannot support and love it with all your heart...you are also FREE
to MOVE...why aren't you?!

     I have loved America for 76 years and there is MUCH to love!
(I only dislike "haters") Whether you are Democrat, Republican,
Independent, etc. is not NEAR AS IMPORTANT a label as AMERICAN!

   AMERICA is a magnificent "salad" of ALL Nations and EACH ethnic  "ingredient" gives it fresh solutions with its diversity.
We become ONE amazing place called AMERICA...MY HOME.

 

                           


 The Two Arrows(Buddhist Wisdom)
       "Life often shoots an arrow at you and wounds you. This is a given in life. By not accepting this fact with worry about its unfairness or how long the pain will last...we are shooting a
SECOND ARROW into the wound!"

                       

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA
