It Never Ends

Hook shares a couple of pictures showing the Vote in Afghanastan. These put tears in my eyes.

I've tried so hard to remember that women in this country haven't always been able to vote. I don't want to be one of those people that take our freedom for granted.

And you know what? That freedom hasn't come over night. The democratic PROCESS (not party) continues to evolve, grow. We feel those growing pains constantly. That's the beauty of it. It's not like turning on a light switch and all of a sudden everyone if free, equal and happy. It's A Continuing Process - with gains and losses. It's like a good marraige. It takes commitment, attention and focus. It's a never ending journey.

I think it's beautiful to see the Afghan people take that first step.
