Talking with a friend last night, they were shocked I  remembered the things I do. Birthdays, phone numbers, outfits, weather, dates of things both significant and not. I think I remember because it gives me control of my life....too bad I can't turn it off :) Anyway, July 4th is coming up. America's independence day, the day we celebrate for essentially saying, "we aren't going to take this any more, there is more for us, and trial and sadness and pain will all be worth this fight in the end"....and it was.  Today, June 28th, is my own little independence day. 2 years ago I made a choice that changed my life forever, and looking back, today I am enjoying the freedoms that were bought with a price.
