    Just for fun ... how would you complete these sentences today?

    Today, I have the right to ___________.
    I am thankful for the freedom to ______________.
    I am thankful for the freedom from ______________.

    Anabelle slept over. I'm on a chat shift (a very slow one!) right now, waiting for her to wake up. My answers:

    Today I have the right to say no when I need to say no, such as skipping that exercise class last night because I was beat.
    I am thankful for the freedom to spend my day the way I'd like, even if that means taking a nap later on and listening to people whine about politics.
    I am thankful for the freedom from the gender oppression that happens in so many other countries. Here, I am just as valuable as anyone else, and that is simply not the case everywhere.

    I am thankful for the freedom to have worked a job I loved for so many years--thanks DH.

    I am thankful for the freedom from the supreme gender oppression that many suffer.

    Happy Independence Day BBB Friends.

    Leave it to Lisa to give us homework. BTW, I would copy off of Lee's paper any day.
    Today, I have the right to retire.
    I am thankful for the freedom to honor God the way I choose,
    I am thankful for the freedom from British rule.

    I read an interesting rant about a guy who hates people saying Happy 4th of July. We don't say Happy February 14th or Happy December 25th. Today happens to be July 4th but we celebrate today because it is Independence Day.

    Happy Independence Day America

    Today, I have the right to believe in and worship my God, to vote, to exercise my individual freedoms as indicated in our civil rights and laws.

    I am thankful for the freedom to excercise these rights.

    I am thankful for the freedom from oppression, from dictatorship. I am thankful for the freedoms that being a U.S. citizen demands and insures us all, regardless of my race, my gender, my beliefs. Let freedom ring!

    Beautiful day here, sunny and mid 70's!

    Maybe some fireworks from a distance to be seen later?

    Enjoy your day everyone! God Bless America <3
