On Memorial Day, we remember those who fought and lost their lives for their country.
Monday should be a huge day of reflection - on the past and on our current situation.
Who are we as Americans? What the heck are we doing as Americans?
Today should be a bit of a turning point for 2020 America - we truly should attempt to be better people, leaders for the world, and re-think who we are, who we want to be, and how we want to be seen. We should dig deep into our souls and think about how we want to be represented as America.
That all sounds so grand as I type it. Meanwhile, I'll float in the pool, eat a hot dog, and be a very lazy American. I need some gumption, some spirit, some mojo....
All the best for Memorial Day. Stay safe my friends.
I think you need to allow yourself to be a lazy, leisurely American today, my friend. You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteDakota is so darn cute. Happy 3rd Bday to her.
Keep your spirits intact, Joanne.
Hugs to you.
it ended up a rain day in sweatpants. All good. Cheers to you
DeleteLovely photo's Joanne, I once spent Memorial Day in your country .....an unforgetable memory.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
glad we showed you a grand time!
DeleteHi Joanne - interesting post ... and yes this year's Memorial is slightly different - I hope our Remembrance Day in November won't be - but actually I suspect will be for other reasons. Just enjoy your pool ... and hot dog - let your mojo carry on relaxing for now: it's safer! All the best - Hilary
ReplyDeleteate the hot dog indoors. Too much rain - 2 inches on Monday. But it was fine.
DeleteSo many lost lives to remember for us all this Memorial Day. I love the photo of Dakota. She is so sweet and I hope you get to see her again really soon. Yes I'm hoping that this whole pandemic business proves to be a really big turning point for all of us. We're all in this together so let's forget politics and fighting and just be kind. *gets off soap box* Have a good day x
ReplyDeleteI'm up and down on a soap box all the time. We're in this together. Take care
