Happy July 4th

Yes, it's that time of the year again, so I interrupt what I have been sharing about Surviving Bad Attitudes to say "Happy Birthday America!"

What does America mean to me?

-It's the most beautiful place I have ever seen. From our coast here in South Carolina to the coast of California what a grand place to live.

-It's a place where a dream can come true. Ask Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, George Washington Carver, Walt Disney, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and countless others. They all dreamed a dream and saw them come to pass.

-It's a place where I can worship the God that I want to, go to church where I please, and not worry about condemnation or oppression.

-It's a place where I can own a house, drive a car, get a good education, make something out of myself, and continue to grow and progress each and every day of my life.

-It's a place where the good far outweighs the bad, a place where equality and sportsmanship still rule the day in spite of a careless few.

America has changed. Not every thing is red, white, and blue anymore in the eyes of some people. But I don't want to live anywhere else. This is my country, this is my home, this is my America.

Happy Birthday again!
