Thanks Given

On this day I give thanks that I live on in reasonable comfort, that my family is in good health and thriving, and that my country and its citizens have awakened to the reality that our government is in the hands of those who care not one whit for us, and couldn't get it done even if they did.

William's Whimsical Words:

From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
