This summer, I’ve been keeping a list on my phone.
What Does Freedom Feel Like? (Here are just a few things on my list)
–The warmth of sunshine
–The awareness that you’re making a good memory while you’re in it
–The wind on my face while biking
–The sudden scent of honeysuckles in the air
–Smooshing your face into a peony
–Inbox zero
–Not bowing to a tyrant
As you’ll see, my last entry is a bit more literal. But these are just a few of the things that help me feel free.
What about you?
And if we have moments like these, how can they bolster us and encourage us, so that we have energy to participate in building freedom for everyone? Everyone deserves moments like these.
