FIFTY STATES: DAY TWO HUNDRED FORTY SEVEN WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?

When you think about being a citizen of the United States of America, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Do you recollect on your childhood family trips or do you dwell about your current living situation? Or maybe a historical point of view comes to light on exactly how this vast, but shallow country was formed not so so long ago? There are so many times I have heard, "I am so proud to be an American living in the US of A." What does it exactly mean to be a part of the U.S.A.? When I have a mental visual of my country I normally have a coast a coast image from the Pacific North West to North Atlantic New England and then think about the vast MidWest Region, Deep Historical South, with far away thoughts of Hawaiian sunsets, and large cruising Alaskian glaciers with goldie oily miners long ago. I will someday sooner than never give my changing via mood Southern Sea blue eyes the opportunity to set foot on all FIFTY STATES and hopefully unite my vision of what country is all about. I know I take the California Coastline for granted until I miss it when I travel beyond it. I am such a water soul that is inspired by movement, sound, and the power of the rush that shapes and endures.
