Every day is Independence Day.

A little bit of everything


You know those times where you know you should really stay on top of things, and keep with your schedule, but life throws a curve-ball and you just need to step back, and take a break? I just had one of those times. And the "break" period lasted about a month. 

There are those times where you should just do life anyway and push yourself even if you don't feel like it. But I tried that. Tried to just tough it out and blog and just do life. But when I tried, nothing would come of it. No words. So I chose to rest. Taking a time to rest isn't taking the "easy way out" but simply stepping away from everything, letting things in life mesh back together and resting. 

When life throws you a major curve-ball don't be afraid to rest. Then get back in the game.
 
During that time, I sure did wish I had minions of my own to take care of lots of things I let sort of sit there... I would prefer cute ones like in "Despicable Me"... 

And OH MY, this little image from Pinterest has me wishing they would make a movie staring Minions! And no short films. A good long one...  I just love them!


So lately I'm being reminded more and more about how blessed I am to have the freedom that comes with being an American, maybe its more on my mind because of a 06'-08' TV show "Jericho" that my husband and I have been majorly into as of late. Good thing Netflix is going out the door soon, but that means no more Jericho!! ah!

But seriously, I am so thankful for the freedom I enjoy every day. Having my own little chunk of land to call home, getting to do what I want with what I earn (well almost all of that, lol), and the freedom to have and share my faith.
 
To me, every day is independence day. 


Have a happy Thursday!
