Blissfully Ballard

As our nation comes into a new chapter and seems to be divided I have a quote that a friend shared with me this morning that I think pretty much sums it up.

" We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies.
Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave, to every living heart all across the broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the union, when again touched, as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature.
For if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author. As a nation of free men, we must live for all time, or die of suicide.”





-Abraham Lincoln
