Unity Strength

This is an image that has special meaning to me.  This past Labor Day we took a trip to the beach.  I went away for just a minute, and my 3 year old had already befriended two Hispanic boys.  It was so wonderful watching them play together for the next few hours.  In this photo, they are on a mission to get more water.

There is no doubt that children are very good at making friends.  And making new ones brings them so much joy.  This is certainly an attitude that so many of us have forgotten as adults.  Society gives us so many excuses and barriers to not make a friend.. whether it's race, class, religion, or whatever else that separates us.  Wouldn't the world be a different place if we could rise above all that? .  (Location: Sunken Meadow State Park)
