Americans, What Road Will You Travel?

With oaths taken by Mr Biden and Ms Harris, to begin their term as President and Vice-President of the United States today, the time has come for all Americans to educate ourselves about numerous issues and to communicate to our elected officials the importance of solutions and needed productive action! It’s not just about the pandemic and needed vaccines distributed, but also undoing some of the past executive orders that put many people and our environment on the wrong track. It’s about providing accurate, honest information no matter the topic, unity and progressive action in our country’s democratic ideals, and caring and supporting each other equally in all dimensions of life.

We as Americans have a long road ahead in reaching the wanted and needed goals. Our standing in the world has been tarnished and sure to be a subject of discussion among fellow travelers when tourism returns to places around the world. Our global environment requires our participation in climate issues and assurance that all countries around the world receive vaccines for the current pandemic. Hunger, loss of businesses, jobs and homes for so many people will need a robust economic recovery to address these needs. None of these issues will be solved overnight, but productive action must begin. We need to be aware of the details so we can participate in and help put solutions in place. It’s a long road, no doubt, but it is one headed in the correct direction. What will you do to help? What elected officials will you encourage to work toward positive action and solutions? Where will you look to be educated about issues with accurate, honest information? America is our country and we should want it at its best for all. So, what will you do to help?

New Year, New Start!

I am fully retired from working, but not retired from life!

My “work” now will be fun on a tennis court, riding a bicycle, learning how to use my camera, and volunteering for special projects around the world. And once again, understanding how to blog with informative written pieces about the environment, a photograph where I challenge myself to learn a new technique, or to just write a commentary about whatever because a thought possesses me and I want to share.

I like new years; I like new starts. It allows me to start fresh and so it will go with this blog! With my right effort, I hope to enjoy it all!
