Today is

the 4th of July.  In the United States, it is Independence Day.  People celebrate with barbecues, family reunions and the like. This year, it is giving them an extra day for their weekend.  Independence is good, if it frees people from oppression.   My question is, "has it done that?"  It is all well and good to profess something, but if you don't back it up, it means nothing!  There are 19 other countries involved in this blog who may not be celebrating this holiday, and in the spirit of inclusion, I would like to invite them to take part in my new holiday, "Inter dependence Day."  One blade of grass does not a lawn make.  One grain of sand does not make a beach, and yet each grain, so beautiful and unique makes up an undeniably beautiful experience.  Why can't we be inter dependent and watch out for each other?!  Our world would certainly be a better place.  Make a ripple, think about it, see what happens.
