(My pappy said “Son, you’re gonna drive me to drinkin’, if you don’t stop drivin’ that hod rod Lincoln.“  A little Commander Cody to lighten up the uber solemnity of today’s quote.  Our country’s birthday is coming right up, so let’s all get high and mighty, wave those pom-poms, and put forth our patented holier than thou attitudes.  Sponsored by Coca Cola!  Don’t get me wrong.  Abe was the man!  And, I believe this quote was in reference to the abomination of slavery.  But, we’re not as “free” as we purport to be.  And, we’re definitely not as free as we used to be.  I could go on at length, but it seems the more I write the less response I get.  So, I’ll leave it to you guys to ruminate over what I have said.  I’ve got other things to get to today, anyway.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.”   —   Abraham Lincoln

(Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to bear this in mind.  So many more emotionally negative and defeatist elements kind of force this thoughtful consideration into submission.  No matter how rational we like to think we are, emotions are often too hard to fight.  We all need thicker skins, for Abe’s advice to really take hold.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
