FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM!
It’s the 4th of July. Dick has put the flag out to celebrate. We’re proud to live in the USA! Though the country seems to be in some turmoil at the moment, we’re still celebrating lots of freedoms. So here are some thoughts of what freedoms we take for granted at times.
- We have the freedom to travel in our country, without being attacked or shot down.
- We aren’t trying to get to another country, because our jobs are so bad or such poor living conditions. On the whole, we’re a pretty humane country.
- We have the freedom to vote. The results may not be what we wanted, but we CAN vote.
- As a female, I have the freedom to dress how I want and have the freedom to drive.
- As a female, I don’t have to look down or bow down to a man. I can be strong on my own.
- We have the freedom to watch any show on TV, and read newspapers. We can state our own opinion.
- We have the freedom to not condone and to report the abuse of any other person.
- And MOST OF ALL, right now……I am enjoying the freedom from vacuuming because of my new ROBOT VACUUM!!! I love it!
I don’t know if we will be able to get out and take the grandkids to see fireworks tonight. We thought about going somewhere last night, but we’d had a big day, and it was way too hot. We chose to stay in. I think it’s going to be “hotter than the 4th of July” today. We’re going to make Fairy Gardens today or tomorrow.
What freedoms are you enjoying today? How are you celebrating the 4th of July? Let me know, in the comments.
