I thought I might as well do a requisite Independence Day
Post. Happy Fourth of July to those in
the United States. The fourth reminds me
of all the things I am grateful for. I
am grateful that I have choices to be who I want to be. Many more women in this world do not have the
opportunity to say, act, dress and be whoever they want to be. I am grateful that I can believe and state my
beliefs without fear of imprisonment or retribution. I am grateful that I can speak up for what I
believe in and that those who have opposite views of me can speak up too. I am grateful that I can choose to go to any
church I’d like or choose not to go to church at all. I love the individuality values of
America. I am grateful that I don’t live in a homogenous
culture – I have the opportunity to meet and know so many people from different
worlds than I am from. I am grateful
despite the limitations and struggles in this country that there are still
endless opportunities.
I’d also like to thank all the individuals who served this
country. I thank those who choose to serve
and those who were made to, those who are remembered and those who are
forgotten and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It is because of these people I am able to
enjoy my freedoms.
Hope you have a wonderful Independence Day.
