An American Creed

In light of the passage of the new health care plan-which I strongly oppose! I decided to post this again. I do not want the government involved in my health care at all, my medical records are between me and my physican only! Rod and I are self-employed and I gladly pay our premiums. Do I think we need health care reform? Yes, but in no way should the government be included or inolved! Sorry to be on the soap box but I feel it is important to take a stand!

An American Creed

I DO NOT Choose to Be a Common Man

It is my right to be uncommon-if I can.

I seek opportunity-not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to suceed.

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence, the thrill of fullfilment to the stale calm of utopia.

I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.

It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say ,"This I have done"

Missing in Action

Where has the time gone? I really cannot believe that it is already March! We have just been busy with life/work/school and everything else. Rod and I went to Mexico in February for a week and enjoyed the warm weather and sunshine. The resort was beautiful and the rooms were amazing. I ate plenty of chips, salsa and guacamole. While we were there we also celebrated our lucky 13 year of marriage!! It was hard to come back to the cold weather, I am looking forward to spring and summer. I accidentally put a picture of Lilly in but I decided to leave it since she is just too cute not to =)
