Happy 4th!

"You have to do it yourself, no one else will do it for you. You must work out your own salvation." ~Charles E Popplestone

This time of year is significant for me. It was a time when I actually stood up and said what I believed, and held true to it. It was many years ago now (my daughters father), but it is a constant reminder, to me, that what I feel and think is important. I choose my own happiness and no person, place, circumstance or outside source is responsible for it. I gave myself a true feeling of independence.

Now, it has taken me some time, and I am still learning, on just how to get on with living. And in trying to be independent, you have to learn to accept help, too. Sounds contradictory, I suppose. But sometimes you have to swallow that pride and know within yourself when you just can not do it on your own all the time. Being able to accept help, can be just as liberating and self learning as taking it on yourself. Make sense? I am not quite sure how to get that point across.

At any rate, I hope you all enjoy a Happy and Safe Holiday today. For all those that gave for our Independence, we should give some heart felt Thanks. :)
