This is just a little of what I have been feeling today. I'm not asking for feedback.
I rarely talk about my political or religious views, because I choose not to open myself up to the criticism or speculation of others. My beliefs are my own & no one's to question.
On this rare occasion however, I am telling you how I feel about one of these & I'll respect your right to agree or disagree, but I will not tolerate judgement or lectures.

While the entire nation is remembering & honoring those we lost, those who survived & those who helped that day, I've been trying to remember other things.
Like the way my boys smelled after their first baths. Or how utterly in love with their little baby feet I was, until their little baby feet started running barefoot outside.
I've been trying to remember my grandmothers & the things they taught me when I wasn't paying attention. I've been trying to remember my childhood friends & the trouble we used to try to get into or out of.
You see, I've been thinking about my life, past, present & future. I've been thinking about the sacrifices others have & will continue to make so that I can live the way that I do. I've been counting my blessings & thanking all of those people; alive, dead or yet to be born.
I'm proud to be the granddaughter, daughter, wife, niece, sister-in-law & friend to a long line of men & women who have served in the United States Military. I am proud to be an American, whether I agree with the politics of the current government officials or not.
