Dear America,

I don't think I ever listened to the words of the entire song before today:

"Revolution" by The Beatles...
we all know how it starts

you say you wanna revolution, well you know...
we all wanna change the world...

moving along :

you say you'd change the Constitution,  well you know
we all wanna change your head...
they tell me its the institution, well you know
you better free your mind instead.
BUT if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow.

you know it's gonna be, alright
you know it's gonna be, alright
alright alright alright....

We ALL wanna change the world -- whether it's in our own homes, our own backyard or across the pond.
I believe we are doing the best we can and trust other people live a life from that spirit as well, even if appearances tell us otherwise.  We know what is in our heart -- and if coming from a good place, that is all that really matters.

Today is dedicated to my family; for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, across the street or miles between, bonds of friendship or blood, in celebration and annihilation, they are all mine and I love them all.

Make it a Good Day, G

Our ability to forgive, listen, learn and love anyway comes with the lessons of family life, even when we don't say the right things, even when we are provoked or attacked, even when we are misunderstood, and even when we are doing the best we can.

Every day, I want to be able to look in the mirror and see someone doing her best to accomplish that.

And to the negative chatterboxes, if you don't have something nice to say about all that,
then bless you and may you  keep it to yourself xx
