It was a beautiful day today. A little cloudy, but that's okay. I worked in the yard and worked in the garden and thought about our freedoms. As I as working I said a prayer of thanks to Heavenly Father for allowing me to live in this beautiful country - Land of the Free, Home of the Brave. I have had such a mixture of emotions today. One minute I've been happy and excited to think I'm so privileged to be an American citizen. The next minute I'm a bit melancholy because there are people who don't appreciate that they were born and raised in a free society. I'm happy because I have a wonderful family. I'm sad because some don't understand that families are just that - families, even if we aren't all good. I like the quote that is appearing on facebook - "you may not like me, but Jesus thinks I'm to die for". I'm thankful that He loved me that much. I'm sad that sometimes I can't love so freely.
BUT - it's a new hour in a few minutes. I can try again. That's the happy part. No matter how many times I try and fail, I can try again, and one of these hours or days - I will succeed. Now see, that makes me happy. Yayyyy.
