Thanks for the link. The immigrant perspective is useful here: "Genuine pride, not shame, is the only thing that has ever improved a country." Love it!
How wonderful, Stew! Is that end quote yours? Spot on! This is timely and inspiring. We see what we expect to see, and more often than not, I choose to see possibility. Thank you!
Great to hear from you. Dewitt was for me one of the earliest "appreciative mindset" advocates I came across. Some lessons have a long shelf life! Thanks for commenting and thanks for subscribing. Hope all's well with you.
Seems like wherever I start writing I end up zoomed out to some bigger implication. Take a look at the first comment where Molly gives a link to another great acknowledgement of the promise of this country. Thanks for reading and reflecting.

I thought this one might resonate with you. Yes, the quote is mine, but I am sure it is a paraphrase of something I heard elsewhere.
Thank you for introducing me to Dewitt Jones 25 years ago. I have carried his lessons, and yours, with me throughout my career. Great post!

I’ve been collecting better acknowledgments of our 250th. Thanks for the essay and for wrapping it up with hope for our people and country.
