As I drove through a drive through to pick up some lunch, a soldier in service to our great country crossed the parking lot.
I instinctively opened my window and shouted,
"Thanks for your service to us,"
he turned around, removed his cap, tipped his head, smiled broadly and said, "your welcome, mam."
We live in a truly great country. On a daily basis, it really helps to think about and appreciate all those freedoms.
In some of our households, however, those freedoms may or may not hold true.
I have a dear friend who lives across the country from me now who was married to a man who methodically took her freedoms away.
She is an artist. She loves to paint. She is really good at it. As a matter of fact, she had reached the point where she was being offered good money for her work.
Needless to say, she couldn't take it anymore as her soul was being ripped from her body, as she was being forbidden to do one of the things that she was meant to do.
She doesn't live there anymore. She started a new life.
She is now a thriving and happy artist remarried to a wonderful man.
Oh, and what my husband doesn't allow me to do....be unhappy. Thanks baby. You're the best.
