My first blog ever

Well here I am in the Midwest, always felt our state was more east than midwest, but what do I know as I sit here in the Ohio Valley.

My first attempt to blog and am not quite sure what to say at this point.

Our minds come together so often in this country. Watch the news, see the shootings, despair, cry and wish for better days. That has been heavy on my mind lately. It reminded me of 911 and the exact spot I was standing, what I was wearing, who I was with. The inability to grasp the true nature of what had happened in our beloved country. You do know, no matter how bad our politics get, the homelessness, the state of our schools, the fact that we have groups of people in our midst that are intent on killing each other, we live in the greatest country in the world? I wanted to kiss the ground the last time I came home from overseas.

We are spoiled, yes, we are.

We have not had to endure the hardships our parents and grandparents lived, loved and tried to laugh through during the depression and World Wars.
