Independence Day

Happy 4th of July America. Independence Day. Freedom.

As I give thanks for the independence and freedom we have in the western world, it makes me think why there is not a day to celebrate one's own personal independence. Independence of thinking and thoughts, independence of consciousness. What I am getting at is I choose to celebrate each and every day for ME. But there should be a national holiday celebrating just being. Yes, we all have birthdays to commemorate of age but we need a day to celebrate just being. A Being Me Day or Me Day. A day of celebrating yourself and all that you are. A day to celebrate all the stuff that makes you unique. Uniqueness Day!! Nah. Me Day!!! A day to celebrate who you are as an individual, who you are as a person. A day to revel in yourself more so than spending a day at the spa. A day you would list all the great things about yourself. A day at work and at home, you would need to list one of your best qualities on the and celebrate it.

I just think we give so much attention to how we are viewed by ourselves and others that a day to celebrate just being ourselves without the identification or labels could do us well. I could see this going over well in the board rooms across the world. LOL. But seriously, it's an honest suggestion. Enjoy your freedom today as a country and if you can as yourself.
