87. I am 72. I have had an amazing life. Just unbelievable.
And I never, ever say "never."
I was 9 and in the fifth grade. My teacher presented a little homemade model of the Parthenon and told us that was the birthplace of democracy. Now I was a poor kid living in the Midwest in the early 1950s. But I said to myself right then and there, "I'm going to go there and see that Parthenon." And close to 15 years later, that is precisely what I did. It was thanks to the man I married. But what I said I would do, I did. That is only one amazing example from my life. Be positive in your thoughts and actions. If you never dare to want something that everyone says is impossible, you probably won't get it or do it or have it. You have to keep focused on your cosmic wish list. It isn't magic. I just don't know what it is. But if you, from the get-go say "That is impossible. We can never do that. Forget it," you will never get what you know is right for you and for the country. One of the things I greatly dislike about Hillary and her campaign is the negativity of it and of her supporters. We are the country of people who achieve the impossible. Of course, Bernie can get Congress to enact the legislation he wants if we strongly support his request for it, his campaign for it. Of course, we can. Remember the Obama slogan: "Yes, we can." That's what I believe about Sanders. Yes, we can. In this you are right. It isn't "Yes, he can." Rather it is "Yes. We can." I like the fact that Bernie is so determined and so positive in his belief that he will achieve what is right for America. |
