American Flag by Michael ElliottI’m not much for awareness ribbons. There are so many of them, now, and of so many different colors, that I’m at sea as to which is which.

I am, however, very appreciative of the flag, particularly the flag of the United States of America.

Call me hokey, call me silly, call me a Midwesterner with deep roots in the U.S., I really like seeing the red, white, and blue fluttering in the breeze.  The sight reminds me of all the good that is in this country, and the heart that is at the very core of a giving, loving, diverse, and amazingly resilient people.

So, a beautiful Flag Day to you!

Long may she wave!

Blessings for the day,

Maureen
