Our good fortune to live in America

This truly is a season to care, to say thank you, a season for sharing, for hugs.  Driving around Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills today I noted so many homes with beautiful wreaths on the front.  A wreath is a welcoming signal to others it is that circle that one can enter into in a hug, a marriage, an A-ok sign, is is a thank you. 

One individual, Morrill Worcester, has done a beautiful thing since December 1992, by placing wreaths at 5000 of  the headstones at Arlington National Cemetery.  Each year it is planned that 5000 wreaths will be placed.  Each year the director of the cemetery  selects the location for the wreath-laying with plans to eventually cover all the areas of the park over the years.
