I
can hardly believe that today is May 26th.
The
first thought I have about this date is a selfish one. My maternity leave is
ticking away and before too long I’ll be back at work. Time waits for no one.
And I will be back to work sooner than I would like and this precious time will
be a mere memory.
The
second thought I have is that it is Memorial Day! Memorial Day, a day of
remembering the men and women—our heroes—who died while serving in the United
States Armed Forces. They died so that we could all enjoy
the American way of life, often referred to as the pursuit of happiness. I have
been even more mindful of this distinctly American way of life since having
children. I am grateful of the gift of living in this country where I am able
to provide them with a safe, loving environment, fresh water, good food and the
opportunity to learn. Because we live in
America, they have the luxury of being children, enjoying their childhood and
playing. In a word, they can pursue happiness
with enthusiasm every day!
So, on this
Memorial Day I am giving thanks for our way of life, thanks for our troops who
fought to protect it and thanks for my family who make me very happy.
Happy Memorial
Day!!!
