She is five years old and embeds the American dream....she can be whatever she wants to be and she can do anything she pleases. She doesn't know that other parts of the world would limit her due to her being a female. She is sheltered from a foreign view that girls are to be abandoned on hills, roadsides, and in orphanges. She is blessed to live where women and men are more equal.
Five years old minus a tooth. Thirty-one minus make up.

Happy birthday to the country that hails this flag. The old stars and stripes that once signified a country of strength, promise and great power. Today more of us are wondering when the days of "glory" will return...when we will once again find that We the people do matter. When the focus is no longer out there, over there, and anywhere but right here. When the nation's leadership focuses less on the I and more on the We.

My tough cookies!
Here's hoping you and yours had a good USA birth-day.
