It's a new morning .
FOR: SKYWATCH FRIDAY. Thank you to the team.
"Hope is not blind optimism. It's not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It's not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it. Hope is the belief that destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by the men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be.” President Barack Obama.
Each sunrise, each sunset! With beauty like that we have much for which to be grateful. Awesome photo! Wonderful quote!

The quote is a bit of a reminder of the JFK one - "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".
Lets all hope that the US politicans can effectively work together for the betterment of ALL Americans.
A challenge worth the effort.
