Independence Day

Happy Independence Day! While our country is celebrating 237 years of independence from British rule, I will be celebrating a different sort of independence. While I won’t be setting off any fireworks, for the first time in many years I’ll be home alone for several days while my family is out of town. I’m looking forward to the solitude. It will be fun to set my own schedule for the day, accomplish projects where focused time is important, and take time to reflect on my many blessings. By the way, it’s that last item that’s most important. Quieting your mind and finding independence from the thoughts and demands of everyday life allows you to appreciate things in a new way.
