The World Beyond BetterMost > Anything Goes
Something, or things, we are proud of.

Anke - thank you, very beautiful. As you know, my partner is German. He is 48, his own father was involved in the war as a very young man, and my partner seems to be still bearing the burden of that history. But it is over. It's really over, and I, as a French, admire Germany for looking at its past honestly. France still hasn't started, and what my country did in Algeria for instance was nothing to be proud of. We have only just started looking honestly at our active role as a state in supporting the nazis in WWII! Oops, here I am bitching again about France ::), but sorry, it is true.
As a German of your generation, you can be proud of your country's honesty and what it has become.
Pipedream:
Thank you, Isabelle! Let's make en effort to spread the word!
Hope I'll meet you at the Euro Brokie Brunch!!!
ANKE :)
Lumière:
I am glad to see more posts on what we are all proud/grateful for. :-*
Lovely posts Anke and Isabelle.
isabelle:
Thanks Milli. I do hope to meet you in person one day!
And Anke, I hope to meet you in London in September too. I'm going to do my best to attend.

*SIGH* Yet another Brokie Get-together my scrawny ass will not be able to attend! :-\ :'(
Ok, I'll try not to dwell on what I can't do and make another list of things to be grateful for. :)
