Lest We Forget

Today is Remembrance Day in Canada – a day where we remember our war dead and perhaps do something symbolic to honour their memory… a moment of silence, lay a wreath, say a prayer.

They fought for our country, they fought for each other, they fought for their families, and they fought for us. If it weren’t for those who laid down their lives, we just might not have the freedoms we do today.

Today, bathed in all my glorious freedoms…

I will spend my moment in silence being grateful that I have the freedom to choose to journey through my day my own way.

I will remember those unselfish souls who fought for our freedom.

I will also remember those who contributed to the war effort. Today I will remember my grandpa, the farmer who worked the fields and gave what he reaped to be shipped overseas to the soldiers, so that they had food to eat… so they could have the strength to fight… for our freedom.

And today, when I am busy realizing my dreams – building my own online business, helping others build theirs, attending a class of my own choosing, hanging out with my dogs, calling my mom on the phone to chat, nurturing my body with healthy food, and nurturing my mind with healthy thoughts… I remember those who fought, those who contributed to the fight, those who are in the field now, and those who will fight for our future.
