Imagine

I have lots and lots of time to think about things. Sometimes that's a good thing..sometimes....not so much. Today it was a good thing. I watched the State of the Union last night. I loved it..not because I am a democrat...but because it gave me hope. I actually found myself clapping along. I cheered. I don't do that usually. Normally I listen, nod my head..and wait to hear what the other party thinks. Last night was awesome.

It made me imagine what it would be like if everyone helped out. EVERYONE. Rich, poor, gay, straight, black, white...you get the picture. We're all in this together.

Imagine if we didn't argue over religion?

Imagine if we didn't argue over politics?

What a great place this would be.

Imagine if we helped the unemployed? The hungry? The mentally ill? The uneducated?

Imagine if we not only supported out troops but actually volunteered our time in the services?

Imagine if we gave schools the help they need?

Imagine if insurance didn't cost so much?

Imagine what it would be like if we could allow our children safe places to play?

Imagine if we could actually respect each other?

I think that we could make these things real if we WORK TOGETHER.

I like to imagine things changing for the good. I like to find hope. I like to imagine!
