Because of the Brave
Happiest 4th of July! This morning I woke up and jumped on Facebook (like everyones morning ritual) and read through all the patriotic posts of friends and family and I got to thinking how grateful I am for those that give their lives, or have given their lives to protect this country but I chose to title this blog "Because of the brave" because getting to where we are at has required a lot of bravery and still does.So today I am thankful for the brave men and women who on a daily basis fight for their beliefs. I am thankful for the people who are brave enough to break the mold and reach for the sky. I am thankful for those who are brave enough to fight for their right to love and marry who they choose. I am thankful for those who are brave enough to express who they are regardless of the discriminations they receive from the world. Because while we live in the land of the free, it definitely isn't free from the judgmental.
On a personal note, I have been struggling this weekend. I have felt very judged by someone close to me and while I am sure this person is hurting on the inside from past heartache and life experiences the cycle of pain continues. At what point in our lives do we say enough is enough? When do we stop judging the paths that others have chosen to take and accept the decisions they've made? Doesn't life have so much more to offer us when we accept who we are and who others are as well? We do the best we can, we make mistakes and continue on the path we've chosen. This is what it's all about. I will be brave and live my life with no regrets.
