So I bet you guys are all glued to the screen waiting to see how the PR meeting went. It went great, really really great. You will see big changes soon, of this you can be sure.
My tourists are in town and it is great to have them. There are just some tourists that make you smile... and the ones I have in town now... are those kind exactly.
There is construction everywhere you turn, there are people here dedicated to making a change... there are so many people here that understand what it means to not be extra weight in this world, but to make it a better place.
Many times we hear about the bad stuff, the crooks, the mafia, all those here eating money and ignoring the starving. Can I tell you how many amazing people I know here that are the opposite of that. I have many amazing business friends, many amazing non-profit friends, many amazing philanthropist friends, many amazing local people dedicated to making this place better.
Frankly I am getting a little sick of drowning ourselves in the negative. Every time I read the newspapers or even these logs I want to throw myself over Kievian Bridge. Yes there is negative and yes this country is not healthy... and it needs healing, time and energy to make it better. BUT there are little miracles, and rather large miracles happening every day. Not a lot of people get credit... and to name a few would be unfair, and to name too many would take too long.
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF DEDICATED PEOPLE HERE MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE.
THERE ARE TENS AND THOUSANDS OF LOCALS WHO EMBRACE POSITIVE CHANGE AND MAKE THIS COUNTRY A BETTER PLACE.
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HERE THAT WANT THE BEST FOR ARMENIA.
It has been a little over a decade. We have had an earthquake, a major war, a major energy blockade. I am not making excuses... i am giving you hope. Look where we have gotten.We will do better and we will overcome. We will turn this into an amazing place and we will do it soon. If we can just appreciate the good once in a while... and give it as much light (if not more) as we do the negative... we may just inspire enough people... and get where we want to go faster.
My husband has a song called three candles, which represents the three forces of hope, faith and love. In a country where the candles of love and faith have dimmed for too many, please dont dimm the light of hope. We desperately need it to carry on.
I am sorry for the emotional ranting and raving. However I feel we as a nation are going beyond constructive criticism. I am fearing that we as a nation are beginning to stagnate on the negative and that is not acceptable... especially for an old, impressive, SURVIVING nation such as ours.
