Good Morning,
I like many have had time to reflect upon the past years and one would say that it is good for reflection. In it we can take time to examine our past failures, accomplishments and things that make us proud or unsure or uncertain.
In these days and times I know that it seems like we can not count on anyone or anybody. A ring of that is true. We look at the tragic events that we have sustained as a country and it appears perhaps to the world that we are a country without hope.
I would like to say that that is not a fair. We have a lot of problems in our country and yes I would be one to say that we have a lot of things that could be done better. We as Americans must move into our concept of better and changed and reform. At lot of things can be changed at the level of the Senate the government our communties. The change can be completed. It has and we have the power to change this nation to be a better place. It also takes prayer.
I join the ranks of those who are unemployed. As an adult over the age of 50 things have been very difficult for me and my family. My prospective however and my insight is still and remains optimistic for we in ourselves lies the ability to change and create change and hope for ourselves and for others.
Sometimes this can happen by just doing a small deed of kindness one thing at a time. You hear how often things are really bad. I saw a news story the other day of a young man who was a Hero at the time "Sandy" was here. Shortly and not soon after the young man lost his life. I wonder did he know did he feel something inside of him that was saying it is almost over? Each day we have the unique opportunity to show love to show kindness to give back. To those who own a business to give a job to someone that wants it. (This could very well be me).
To those who have taken the business to other soil...we appeal to you to come back and re-invent the things that made us proud as Americans. A country where the American dream was realized so greatly that many still make an exodus to this country for hope of a new life and our American dream.
The dream is not a nightmare we are a people who love and who give and who help one another it many times of crisis and there are some good people. There are great causes and people who help and who love and who give of themselves their resources and their time. Find a way to now create ways that can make this country a better place for those who now know suffering. Help create things and circumstances that will give back to our community our neighborhoods and help someone. You do not have to re-invent the wheel. There are thousands upon thousands of charitable causes that you can give your time and maybe even your money. Please investigate first. I could name a lot but you use your imagination.
One thing I can say honestly I don't even consider myself a patriot or some high level person in any spect of the imagination. I am just an ordinary person. That is what makes each on of us so special. Realizing that people can do such amazing things. For in this lies the human spirit to win to excel to overcome to knock down obstacles and out of it comes the most amazing stories. I think within each of us is a purpose that we have from the very day we are born. Let us not take the things we were supposed to do to another life not accomplished. I am a very late bloomer. I always wanted to write. Now much older I am doing that so it is never too late. To try to embark to begin. We won't always be the best at everything. I know I could use some help in a lot of areas still. Knowing that we can evolve and change and learn. This is why I call this Blog Lifes Lessons. We are always in the process of learning no matter what the lesson or who the teacher really is.
I have my own prospective....I think this country does need to find it's place but it is a country that was "One Nation under God" when we get back to understanding that it is within the moral society there is hope freedom and a place for true liberty. When we turn our hearts and our minds back to God. I love our modern world in this someone like me can write to the world....just taking my little place tiny place in the world to share my thoughts go out and do something for someone else and your next years reflection might be just a little bit different. Your reflection can be that you helped someone else in word and perhaps in deed as well....Goodbye 2012 Hello 2013 lets make it a better year... I know that nothing is impossible with God....Tonya Nooks
