We wait and know that as in the past, Alaskans will be awake and aware, to manage the unpredictable and unprecedented to create something new and something that works for Alaskans. While we wait on the future, we reflect on the past with reverence and respect for those who have helped us get Alaska where it is now. We ask for patience of thought and strength of heart while we wait on what it is yet to come and the work that is yet to be done. 2014-03-10 Senate Journal Page 1908 In our waiting help us to take time to remember to give thanks, thanks for this great state that is our home… to remember to give thanks that it is a destination for many and has been a home to many who have called Alaska home, for generations too great to count. Thank you Great Mystery, for the Great State of Alaska, may it continue to be so for many more generations to come.
