I became a year older this past Friday, but this is a good decade for me so far. I spent the day with my husband out sightseeing. We hit some antique shops, some barbeque shacks, went through Shiloh battlefield and cemetery and then saw antebellum mansions in Savannah, Tennessee. I had a great time, but I was far too tired to blog about it. The following day my dad and stepmother took us to dinner.
I think it was appropriate that I was born on this particular holiday. I'm a free-spirit and fiercely independent minded when it comes to how I want to spend my time and live my life. I'm touched that people have fought and died so that I get to maintain this freedom. I do fear that those days will someday come to an end for us as a nation. I don't often air political views on here, but I feel that our national sovereignty is riding on this election. Americans remind me of the Israelites when they wanted a king so they could be like other nations. The very reason we're not like other nations is why people are breaking the law to get here in the first place. I could care less what the other nations think of us. I just want to stay free. That means freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom from being taxed within an inch of my life (translated smaller government).
Get out and vote this year even if you don't like the choices. I'm not too enthused about them either, but abstaining is like a yes vote for the winner whether you meant for that person to win or not.
Love ya,
God Bless!
