Freedom

I thought about it the minute I woke up today.

I thought about it as I dressed for work and donned my American Flag pin.

I thought about it from the hours of 8:50 a.m. to 10 a.m.

I thought about it at work as I listened in on debates in the hall about politics.

I thought about it as I sat in the Partner's office waiting for the Judge to call and we briefly discussed Freedom and Politics.

I thought about it as I talked to my LAA about summer programs and her sadness and the year we lost a Colleague on a Plane that hit the Pentagon.

I thought about it as I texted my kids to tell them I love them.

I thought about it as I called my Mommy and talked about our day.

I thought about it as I sat in the nail salon and treated myself to a manicure and pedicure and watched the vietnamese beauticians talk and laugh and giggle and work amongst themselves as I sat as the outsider wondering what was so darned funny and feeling glad that they had a successful business place to go each day to earn a living and enjoy each others company.

And tonight, there is a new Freedom on the horizon. And I think about it. And thank God I Am An American.
