I Was Wrong

I Was Wrong

By Amy Patsch

OK. I admit it, I was wrong. A few weeks ago I wrote about the dark days of February and ever since that column, on the whole, we have had the most lovely February I can remember. And, I freely admit that due to the days being shorter I have seen more beautiful sunrises and sunsets than at any other time of the year. So, I was wrong to moan but very right not to leave town for any far-off shores.

One bright sunny day I walked to the boardwalk and sat staring at the ocean. Looking out over the calm sea of blue I realized how thankful I am for those who came to America before me – The Pilgrims, the American Indians, the hardy Jamestown men. I am so very sure that back in their day I would never have considered traversing the Atlantic or other waters in a wooden ship with masts and sails to voyage to a faraway country using only the stars and a sextant. What brave, daring souls came to settle this country.
