Remembrance Day!


                Happy Remembrance Day. Yes this post  is popping up on a day that I don’t usually post. However we have covered Thanksgiving, and Halloween on this blog series already, we couldn’t miss Remembrance Day.

                As I get older, this day means more and more to me. As a child, it was a day we made sure we were wearing a red flower, there was a moment of silence, and the day off School. As I get older, I watch the ceremonies on TV, and look around at all I have. This is when I realize how lucky I am to live in this free country, and all the things we take for granted every day, that people actually died for. It’s moving. I find myself in, or near tears every year when I think of this. There were people who gave up their lives, so we could have better ones.


                At 11:00, please take that moment to remember and recognize, how lucky we actually are, and what people gave up to make it happen.
