Thankful for Independence

Thankful Thursday

Happy Fourth of July to my divas celebrating here in the United States and welcome to Thankful Thursday! Today, of course, I’m thankful for independence. I hope your families have a fantastic day – whether you’re traveling or staying close to home. Remember to be safe and take a moment to pause and reflect on today’s meaning. Remember we’re celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence – a document that began our journey as a new nation – independent states no longer dependent on Great Britain.

As you focus on Independence Day and the meaning behind it, also, take a moment to pause and think if there are anythings in your life that you need to draft a Declaration of Independence from – depression, financial woes, negativity, draining relationships, unhealthy behaviors… I challenge you to release anything that may be holding you down or back from your goals and journey through life. Press forward and keep your head up high.

Thankful Thursday

What are you thankful for this week?

    I love your idea of writing a declaration for my life. I hadn't thought of doing that.

    It’s so crazy how so many of us don’t celebrate the actual holiday meaning but instead use it as another meaning or just a reason to eat lots of foods. I actually never knew what the 4th of July was for exactly and I don’t think my Mom does either. Definitely something to reflect on.

    I love the idea of declaring independence from something in my life. I’m going to think about this a bit to figure out just what that might be. Thanks for the tip!

    Happy Sharefest. I hope you have a lovely weekend.

    I am thankful for a country with the freedom to make my own choices for myself and my family. I’ll admit to getting a bit weepy explain it to my children (3, 6 and 9) on Thursday.
