Tonight in Zumba we danced to this classic ‘N Sync song “Bye Bye Bye”. This legendary boy band remains a favorite of many and their tunes are modern timeless.
Land of Opportunity, Everywhere
I am an American but I must say that my country is not the only land of opportunity. We have a big bowl but there are millions of fish in that bowl too. Everyone has a dream but people can achieve their dreams and build their own countries where they come from. I know the USA has a image around the world but really we aren’t all that. We can’t seem to treat those in the fringes well. Non-natives aren’t looked at all that well by everyone.
Every land can be a land of opportunity. America does not have a monopoly on building a bright future. I am not anti-immigrant or anything like that or even racist for that matter. I think the best and brightest of places like India, Canada, UK and continents like Africa and South America need their own to stay home to make their home and native lands even better for a new generation.
Everyone has a chance to do amazing things and there are lots of places that need that chance to flourish, thrive and become their own lands of opportunity.
Did Anyone See Where The Weekend Went?
Dang, the weekend has come and gone. It didn’t even feel like we had much of one. Time flies when one is having fun.
Well my friends, the stark realization we all face is that we are now moving forward into the new week with it’s own challenges and opportunities ahead. Let’s see what we can do to make the next few days suck less.
I need some coffee. Hang in there good people.
Tears in my eyes for Downton Abbey
Well its over, Downton Abbey has come to an end. The best show on TV rides off into history. I am not afraid to say I am tearful and mournful. Well done Julian Fellowes and team. Thank you PBS for bringing it to America.
Happy Mother’s Day UK Moms!
To my fellow bloggers in the UK who are mothers I wish you all a Happy Mother’s Day! Grace and peace to each of you and thank you for raising the kids who will make the world great.
Farewell Downton Abbey
Tonight is the night in the United States where we say farewell to Downton Abbey. It will be a emotional night for many fans around the country. The notion that a drama about a British aristocratic family from the early 20th century would be wildly popular sounds crazy but here we are. Millions of fans around the world have embraced the Crawley family and their downstairs staff as one of their own. I am an Anglophile so this show has a instant soft spot in my heart.
My favorite characters are Robert, Earl of Grantham and Mr. Carson, his butler. They are two men who are the heart and soul of the show. Both of them are responsible for the world’s in which they command.
I will miss Mrs. Patmore, Daisy, Anna and John Bates along with Edith and Violet. So many of these people have inspired and infuriated at the same time.
Downton Abbey, thank you for providing people around the world some quality family drama that we will treasure forever.
Come 9:00 PM, I will be watching on my local public TV station WTCI in Chattanooga.
