Happy Constitution Day!
Today is Constitution Day! Yes, this day is often overlooked and is always overshadowed by the 4th of July. I think that it would make a lot more sense to make this day a bigger deal. While reading a book to 4th graders about the Constitution, it reminded me of what a great country we live in and the freedoms that we have. The kids really don't get this yet. They take what they have for granted as we all do as children because fortunately or unfortunately, those lessons will come much later in their lives.
For example, this week I have had the frightening realization that some of the freedoms we have in our area are being threatened by a group that need to be reminded that our country was founded by people who wanted the freedom to be free thinkers and believe in what they choose to believe in. I hope to stay positive and believe that in the end, "We the people" will prevail and keep our country's foundation intact.
