We’ve been back from our trip for about four days now. I think we’ve fallen back into the time zone thing and the jet-lag isn’t nearly as bad today. I’ve been surprised that I’ve suffered with it at all. I’m used to international flying and when we go to Asia, I’m rarely effected by the change. Oh well, eating lunch at 6am isn’t so bad, right?
It is July 4 and it looks to be a beautiful day here in Virginia. Today our nation is 232 years old. In light of my recent trip, we are just a “baby nation.” Not really that old when viewed through that lens. Nonetheless, I’m proud to be a American. This is a great nation in spite of our current challenges, socially and economically. I found this website of real people sharing real stories of what it means to be “American – standing together with a love of freedom and the courage to face the future.” I hope you’ll check it out – REAL AMERICAN STORIES.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
