I've always wanted to make my own blog spot, and I finally have done so! So now I just need to get used to this new stuff and learn how it works! Wish me luck! :)
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!
234 years of independence for this wondeful country called America. I feel so lucky and happy to be living here and to have the rights and freedoms here that some other countries don't allow.
I'v also started reading 1776 by David McCullough, perfect timing to start reading it on Independence Day weekend right? It's pretty great so far. Already it just amazes me how many people were willing to give up everything momentarily (and some forever, if they had died) to gain freedom for this great nation. There's a quote by Dwight D. Einsenhower:
"Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die."
And so it is true. Let us all remember the sacrifice and time that it took to gain all these freedoms that we have in America. This is such a great place to live in and it's only appropriate that we celebrate the day the Declaration of Independence was accepted. God bless America.
