Mind Boggling...HerStory

Patriotism is the love for one's country. A person who shows patriotism can be willing to die or sacrifice themselves for their country. How does one become patriotic? You are not born with patriotism. You lack knowledge at birth to even process what patriotism is. Does it grow on you or apart of you as you age and have a better understanding of what patriotism mean. One of the most prevalent was to show patriotism is to join the military. Joining the military means that you will live and die for your country, however I do not believe everyone that joins the military has patriotism. I believe that through life experiences you form opinions that from your point -of-view become facts, and you make decisions based on that.  I realized there are several reasons that people enter the military.  Got drafted(either wanted to go or forced to go) Family legacy(parents was/currently are in the military) Benefits(pay for school, good insurance) Pressured by others Final option 

Life is what you make it. You can't cry over spilled milk. What is done is done. The most important thing of any situation is that you learn from it. One of the hardest thing is figuring our what you are suppose to learn from a situation. Many times I have gone through different situations and have sat back and asked, why? After I have deliberated on the situation, prayed over, and even talked it over with different individuals I have still come up short on finding out why? Why do you go through what you go through? Is it to make you a stronger person. Is it to learn about the different types of people in life to make you a well-rounded individual? Maybe it's a combination between the two. 

I feel like I have been deserting my blog. I haven't been on here in months. I am going to get back to posting a little bit more frequently. I have been reading a lot of articles. I want to improve my writing, although I think I am an excellent writer, everyone needs improvement. Eh, I just want to be the best that I can be at my craft. I have noticed that a common statement in a lot of the articles or blogs that I read, is that you need to write everyday, if you want to be a good writer. So, that is one of the things that I am going to begin doing. I am going to try to post in my blog at least once a week. Lord please help with this.
