Postscript

A privileged (ha ha) handful of you receive my blog posts in email format. If you would rather not to have my mindless drizzle clutter your Inbox, and prefer to visit the blog at your leisure, the link is:

Just send me a note saying "take me off your distribution". Trust me, I won't be offended.

July 4th Resolutions

Independence of thought,
Independence from mind,
The strength to leave others
Opinions behind.

Independence from past,
Bitterness and grudge,
I need grace to forgive,
Accept and not judge.

Indepedence of movement,
And freedom to roam,
The gumption to leave
The comfort of home.

Independence that comes
With a confident smile,
A posture to envy,

A forthright style.

Independence from slant,

A voice with some reach,

Courage to leverage my

Freedom of speech.

Independence to worship

The god that I choose,

and the diligence to show

Daily gratitude.

I will work hard to realize

These things that I vow.
(Why wait til the New Year
It's Independence Day now.)
