Celebrating Differences

Since I've been struggling with appreciating the views and opinions of others, today I am choosing to be grateful to be in a country where we are all free to celebrate our own differences. Hooray for freedom of religion and for freedom of speech and all the many other freedoms we have here in the United States that really are unique to this great country.
It is easy to get caught up in the details of what makes us different, but I think it is important to remember the many things that make us all the same. That way, we can remember to celebrate and appreciate our differences. The small things that make us special and unique.
I am grateful for the opportunity to be reminded of and to celebrate the various differences from each person to the next.
