Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

    My favorite colors-Red, White and Blue. That is for the country. I love everything about it and for what it means.
    Thanks again Sharla. I will tweet it and try to get it Scooped too.

    Thanks for the reminder, Sharla. Thanks, too, for including School House Rock's "Preamble to the Constitution." What a great way to teach kids!

      We better all hold tight the reins of freedom lest we look around one day and wonder what happened!
