Callie and a Quote from MLK.

"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence.  Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation.  the foundation of such a method is love."

I'll leave with this quote from:  Maya angelou

 

The ship of my life may or may not be sailing on calm and amiable seas.  The challenging days of my existence may or may not be bright and promising.  Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude.  If I insist on being pessimistic, there is always tomorrow.  Today I am blessed.

 

Happy Birthday my sweet girl.

 

Love,

Mom!

Wow!

I'll leave you with this quote from the President's proclaimation about renewal and reconciliation...

"On this Inauguration Day, we are reminded that we are heirs to over two centuries of American democracy and that this legacy is not simply a birthright... it is a glorious burden. Now it falls to us to come together as a people to carry it forward once more."

In fact, I'm going on the record as someone who is sincerely hopeful that change can happen if we all do our part.

Embrace Change.

Today, the first African-American will be inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States.  Whether you agree with or voted for Barack Obama or not, one thing that all can agree on, is the fact that today is an historic day.

 

I agree that changes in our country need to be made... not necessarily the changes that have been talked about, but changes need to be made.  Is this the guy to do it?  That remains to be seen.  But I love the idea that "embracing change" is one that has swept the country.

The Three Bears.
