I'm a mush

I'm a pushover for all things patriotic. I tear up every time, even when the kids say the pledge. I just went to Sarah's kids' "Vote" play, and, as hysterically funny as it was, I teared up just watching the kids talk about America . The anthem gets me every time. I love this country. I love my homeland. I think it is so important for everyone to love their homeland (or find a homeland they can love). I know I've been unimaginably blessed to be here where I can vote. Yes, I teared up when I got my "I Voted" sticker. We live in tough times. We all have our differing points of view; we are passionate about them. Let's love each other, though. Let's support each other's right to speak and right to vote and right to disagree. I know I'm preaching, but I cried when I voted, so there.
