Why homestead for Independence Day

Happy 4th of July!!  As you finish up your celebrations tonight think about what independence and Independence day really means.  To be independent means to take care of yourself, making your own rules and providing for your own needs.  To truly appreciate what our ancestors fought for, we should not fail to take advantage of what they gained for us.  Don't forget to take care of yourself, make your own rules and provide for your own needs.  This was obviously very important to them, shouldn't it be important to you, too?  Think about your life and how independent you really are or even could be if you needed to be.  How much of your independence have you really given up?  By the way, this is not meant to be depressing, but rather inspirational.  To help in the celebration, try to regain some of your independence.  Learn a useful craft, plant a garden, build something for yourself.  Happy Independence Day!
