More thoughts....

I have a video clip to share with you. I hope you will be able to see it through this link (click on the words "President Bush returns to Central Texas" to see the clip I'm talking about). It made me proud to hear Mr. Bush speak to the crowds greeting him as he arrived in Waco, TX before heading to his ranch in Crawford.

Two things in the article jumped out at me:

Bush said he went to Washington with a clear set of principles, and left with them intact.

"I never took an opinion poll to tell me what to think, and I'm coming home with my head held high and a sense of accomplishment,” he said. (from KWTX article)

He also said that when he looked in the mirror he could be proud of what he sees. It just touched me that he is remaining positive even though so many are being rude and disrespectful towards him. I knew I would share it with you as soon as I saw it! Shouldn't that be each of our goals at the end of the day....whatever we're doing to look in that mirror and be proud of what is looking back, knowing we've done our best, and not living with guilts or regrets.

Caleb has asked a couple questions about Mr. Bush. What will his job be now and did he like being President? I think we'll mail him a card, letter, picture, etc.

This is a wonderful post in honor of a wonderful man. I think we are going to send him a letter too...I'm just not sure where to send it.
