Today I am thankful for freedom.

I’m thankful that I can grab my camera, jump in my little car, and follow the light.

I am thankful, since genealogy studies revealed many of my ancestors were not persons under the law, that I am recognized as a person, with a right to express my opinion with a ballot.

I’m thankful that I can disagree with friends on the best way to get to where we want to go, and still be friends.

I am thankful that (at the time of writing, at least) I have the freedom to express what is important to me in music, written and spoken word, art, photography and most of all in worship.

Freedom! I love it!
