Patriotism
As our
cruise ship pulled away from the New York City terminal, I enjoyed seeing both
the Statue of Liberty and World Trade Center buildings. My heart swelled with feelings of patriotism,
a love and support for our great country.
While no one can deny we have problems, the USA is still the greatest
country on earth.
An article I
recently read called The Psychology of American patriotism talked about the
health implications of patriotism. Dr
Keith Ablow said this: “feeling part of
something greater than oneself-especially one’s country-can be sustaining, both
spiritually and psychologically.”
Feelings of patriotism contribute to our mental and physical
health. Fox News, http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/07/04psychology-americ...
As we
approach Thanksgiving time, we can be thankful for our great nation and the
people who work hard every day to make it better. I hope you and yours have a wonderful
Thanksgiving holiday.
