What’s Freedom to You?

Today is Independence Day in the United States, and it may very well be my favorite Holiday.

It has nothing to do with fireworks or cookouts or that I had ancestors fight in the war. I probably had some on both sides.

This picture was taken during a short break at the PPMD Conference. Aside from being a lovely scene. For me, it represents freedom.

Freedom is a powerful word, and I am so blessed to know it because, as a disabled person, I’ve perhaps experienced a lack of freedom in ways others may not.

Despite the ADA, I know what it’s like not to be able to get into a doorway or be able to enter a second floor or basement.

How lucky I am that I was able to use an ADA room that fit my needs.

So today, a milestone for freedom, be grateful for what you have and take time to think about what freedom is to you.
