Independence
With July 4th just around the corner, I started thinking about what it really means to be independent. I don't think we can ever get a real solid understanding and here is my though why.

Right now, you are reading this, you are dependent on your computer, how about the chair your sitting in, or the shoes you are wearing.

Even if we are all by ourselves, we are still dependent on the air we breath, or the food we eat. So when I hear people say, I want to be free, I want my own Independence, I kind of chuckle.

Its my opinion that the world is so much more fun when you can learn to live knowing that those around you bring you joy, they bring you value, they give you something to look forward to.

As the 4th of July comes to us here today, remember that our Independence was arrived at by a small group of people being dependent upon each other. Who do you depend on to help you make your dreams come true?

Have a great day, thanks for the smiles you have been sharing, for they showed up today.
