Practicing Freedom and Gratitude

Freedom; I take nothing for granted.

backstory: Tomorrow, December 6th, is Finland’s Independence Day. I’ve written a lot about what and why I love my second home, for instance, here. This year we celebrate independence with gratitude as a theme; honouring “people who have worked for the good of health and Finnish society” during the coronavirus pandemic.

Personally, as this day is also our wedding anniversary, I celebrate freedom a loving relationship affords. There’s beauty in that.
