Inspiration Mondays: Declaration of Independence

As we welcome in July, we get to celebrate Independence Day.  As a child, you learn all about US history and about the Declaration of Independence, but I don’t think I really understood the significance until I was older.  I appreciate the courage it took to declare freedom and to create a new government.  I appreciate the rights we take for granted as American citizens, the right to think what we want to think and live our lives as we want to live them.  I appreciate my independence.  And while the country is not perfect, I do think it’s pretty amazing and I’m proud to be an American.
