Worktable Wednesday - Stars and Stripes
This wool scarf was a kit I purchased a number of years ago from Nancy Miller, a 4th generation rug hooker and wonderful teacher. I'm focusing on fiber this winter and thought I'd get back into the swing of things by completing something small.
As I hooked I couldn't help but think about the election and the patriotism being shown by so many Americans. And it is patriotism whether one agrees with the view point or not.
:love for and devotion to one's country is the definition of patriotism according to Merriam-Webster.
My hope is that every American today participates in one of the tenets of democracy by accepting the election results and extends their own hand and heart to yet another tenet: compromise.
I know without even waiting for all the results that I didn't get everything I wanted. Darn! In some cases I'm sure it's not going to be easy, but I am tired of the rancor. I know that if we work together we can accomplish far more positive than if we spend another four years trying to get credit for what's best for our citizens.
