God Bless America

Hi everyone just wanted to let you know I’m  still alive. I lost my job a few months back then ended up not being able to afford internet and was just in a bad place. I did however maintain my weight loss. I even lost another couple lbs. I’m sorry for not checking in. I’ve now started back to school and got my internet back and I’m doing well. I joined the schools paper. I’m still having money problems but they arent as bad. I never found another job though looking like crazy. The jobs avalible now just wont work with my school. I have a new respect for life from this humbling experience. Including what I need based on what I want. I learned to love some new veggies too like olives and different peppers.

On a more heart breaking note today is a very sad and emotional day for me and my family. I’ve just finished balling my eyes out watching the History Channel. I will never forget this day 8 years back. So my song today is important to me and the video is a real tribute to those who helped my family and many others across this country that day.

Lyrics-

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there’s pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
