Today, I am Ulogging from my Yoga Mat.
In the US, the 4th of July is a major holiday - Independence day. The sun is shining and it is very quiet and peaceful in my neighborhood.
But I am not going to talk about the history of the country. The 4th of July is also my Personal Independence Day.
You see, I owned a small store for 12 years. I sold all kinds of groceries, meat, cheese and lots of produce. What that meant for me was that I was working all the time. The store was open 7 days a week and for the most part, I was working 7 days a week and often long hours.
Then, I got cancer. After being out for a while, I really didn't want to do this anymore. But if you have been sick, you have lots of bills and hospitals are not kind about late payments.
Anyways, it's a long story. But 9 years, on the 4th of July, I closed the store and walked away from it.
I have not regretted that decision for even one minute.
Every year, on the 4th of July, I celebrate my very own personal independence day.
