The 4th of July
Happy Birthday America!!!
So tell me...when was the last time you READ the Declaration of Independence? I know, in thinking about what to post today, it had been way too long since I had. I figured it was time to remind myself just what this day is all about.
And it's about Freedom. The freedom of a people to live in an enviroment that is non-threatening. An enviroment that allows them to be who they are, to speak their mind.
And, for the most part, that freedom is still going strong in this wonderful country of ours. Yes, I said for the most part. No system is perfect, not everyone will be happy with a given situation. But overall - we American's have it made.
So today I celebrate. I celebrate this great nation of ours and I especially think of all those that have sacrificed (and continue to each and every day) to maintain our freedom.
Happy 4th of July America. Let's not lose sight of how good we have it.....
excellent...
