381 Days

Three hundred eighty one days...why have I not written since then? There has been great joy, new people, new places to write about...there has also been sorrow, heartbreak and disappointment. I don't know why I did not continue writing and it doesn't matter...it is time to start again...

On this Memorial Day we honor the fallen heroes who have made the "ultimate sacrifice" to preserve our freedom and our way of life. We also honor all the men and women serving in our armed forces and their families who endure separation and hardship so we may gather with family and friends on this somber yet celebratory day. Take a moment to say thank you to a Marine, a soldier, a sailor, an airman or a member of the Coast Guard...and join me in looking forward to a time when "peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars"!
