Here I sit in downtown Kiev (yes the Ukraine) reflecting on my dreams and starting this blog. First, let me say thank you for all who read and I welcome comments and suggestions from those who are far more experienced then myself in the blogosphere. For me it is easy to get caught up in daily life when I am at home so a nice vacation far away is a great way to recharge my batteries, refocus like a laser on my dreams, and reflect with appreciation on all I have achieved in my life.

Despite the economic and constitutional terrorist in the White House, I live in the greatest nation on this green earth with opportunities for success and happiness of which our ancestors could only dream. Yes, our ancestors would marvel at how we live today but there are also many in the world that envy and desire to be like us. Despite the hate of this nation that comes from the left (witness the unqualified one’s apology tour not too long ago), the number of legal and illegal immigrants that knock on our door every year (well illegals break down the door) continue to prove we are a country many in this world believe is the place where their dreams too can be fulfilled.

Today the sun is out in Kiev and shortly I will be out admiring the great beauty of this city. If you ever get the chance I recommend visiting the Ukraine as it is quite a lovely country, with wonderful food, history, and yes (for the men) lovely women. I encourage all to travel and see the world as the beauty and wonders found in other countries help put in perspective the beauty and wonders found at home, along with a stronger appreciation of all we enjoy in the greatest nation on this green earth.
