The author eloquently expresses the beauty in the day, and the beauty of life in an essay (daily journal). She embraces each day feeling hopeful, feeling love, and being at peace. Living in peace and harmony is only by the grace and goodness of our Father, God Almighty. Life is living the dream. It is embracing the sun, admiring the stars at night, touching, tasting, and feeling the freshness of the morning air. It is the joy and the peace that it brings that makes life oh so beautiful You too can live the American Dream in your own backyard by remaining hopeful. """" Oh taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man that tursteth Him."""" Psalms 34:8 The American dream is the knowledge of God. It is the reality of knowing that He is real, and that He cares. I see the beauty in the day. The American dream is experiencing the human touch of His Holy Spirit. It is the reality of being able to breathe it, to touch it, and to feel it. | Living The American Dream In My Own Backyard by Doris D. Walker, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
