Freedom Hodgepodge

 

Here I am doing another hodgepodge which is brought to you by Joyce over at http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/

Here are this week’s questions.

What does freedom mean to you?

Freedom for me to be able to be whatever religion I choose or to have no religion, to travel without asking permission to do so, you know the usual stuff.

How will you celebrate Independence Day this year? If you live outside the USA answer this question as it relates to your own country's patriotic holiday, wherever that may land on the calendar. 

Tim and I don’t do anything to celebrate Australia Day, however, 2 of my sisters and my brother have BBQ and get drunk

This or that...red, white, or blue? Stars or stripes? Watermelon, home-made ice cream, or blueberry pie? How do you feel about fireworks? 

No stars and stripes on our, well we do have stars 6 of them, never had home-made ice cream or a blueberry pie, we would have a pavlova. I love fireworks and miss the days when we could buy them and set them off ourselves.

What have you purchased recently that made you excited? 

Clothes and other things off Temu as birthday/Christmas gifts

I'm thankful to live in America (or fill in whatever country you call home) because____________.

I love living in Australia as it feels like a safer country generally speaking, of course there is violence and crime but it’s for most not in your face.

Insert your own random thought here. 

Contentment is finding joy in simplicity, embracing life’s blessings, big and small. It’s gratitude for what’s present, rather than longing for what’s not. Contentment brings peace, harmony, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of the present moment.
