Show She's Thankful ... Mary Loves USA I'm sure most of you recall the movie Bambi. Thumpers mother told him that if he couldn't say something nice, don't say nothing at all. Now that the way I've felt for the past couple of weeks. I have been so disturbed about some of the things that went on during the elections that I felt that it was better to not say nothing at all. I'm so proud to be an American. In spite of the EPA, the CIA, and all the other abc organizations. I ching the budget. We have untold wealth around us. Being able to buy a hamburger, ham-burger, joy riding in the car, haveing a warm home. Our richness comes from this country. Fertile land, opportunities, American ideals, competition are but a few of the riches. Richness is enjoying the things that you have and using them to the best advantage. ad-vantage. Three cheers for America. think our first blessing was being born in America. We all get discouraged about taxes and scandal and graft but there are so manyj great things that are still very important. im-portant. We have just built a new shop and I go down to work and look at it and have to pinch myself and say, "Hey, this belongs to us." Where else but in this country can you grow up and work for the tings that you want and realize a dream? A friend of ours went to India on business and found that a factory employed some 2000 people and they were payed 60 per day. Here we are in a small community in the west and have the opportunity to set goals. Not just set goals, but to achieve them. If a person has gumption enough he can accomplish anything. We are all concerned with soaring cost but the middle class American is living like yesterdays rich man. Americans have more leisure time and more money to enjoy that time. Our style is being cramped a little right now with the increased cost of fuels, but we can learn to stay home more, flip those light switches, and turn down the furnace. All you need to do is remember the out house and the coal stove and some know all about the kerosene lamps. My husband asks, "What's rich" Well I think a tank of gas is rich. I use to only be able to buy 50 worth. A friend said that ten dollars is really rich. Richness is not money its a way of life. It's being able to do something you want to do without pin-it |
