Self-Portrait Tuesday

"we have the chance to honor our history during this time of year. to remember how our nation came to be. to remember those who have lived and died to protect the things we hold most dear. no matter what country you call home, there is opportunity here to celebrate every homeland. every nation. i hope you will recognize these challenges - they are all borrowed from patriotic songs. and there is so much room for creativity within these lyrics."

tuesday, june 3rd the emblem of the land i love

I love the challenges that Lelly gave us for June. I LOVE American History. It is rich and fascinating. I am glad that we live in this wonderful country that gives us so many opportunities. And here in New Mexico today we get to exercise one of the greatest privileges of living in this country... we get to VOTE.

Today is the Republican primary. And although the Presidential nominee for that party has been decided, there are other races that we are narrowing down today.

There are still countries out there today where the citizens have no say in their leaders. We do! When we vote we get to choose those people that we feel are best qualified to make decisions on our behalf. Now, I know that many times we are choosing the better of the to evils, but it is still a choice that we get to make. And in my personal opinion, when we vote, we earn the right to complain about our leader(s)!! LOL!

So there it is, my soapbox for the day. Enjoy the blessings of a Democratic systems. If you would like to follow the results of our election please go to this website: http://election.kob.com/
