This year’s theme is “In search of roots.” This is something virtually every American can identify… we all came from somewhere else…. even ‘native’ Americans.
There is something about getting yourself established in a new country, building a family and a future that sometimes lets go of the past. In letting go, we sometimes forget the valuable lessons learned… glorious victories and ignominious defeats that make us proud… and keep us humble.
Roots are important…. in the ‘Year of the Rat.’ ( I do worry that this is an election year… but rats are supposedly good luck)
So… looking for a little fun this weekend?
