It's a Big Day

Today is a big day.

It’s a big day for dads, so happy Father’s Day to all of you out there who are celebrating today! It’s a big day for Freedom, so happy Juneteenth to one and all. And, it’s a big day for each and every one of us who is blessed to be alive and who get to enjoy the freedoms that come with living in a democracy.

I know that’s a lot to celebrate, but I’ve come to realize that we can and should view every day as a "Big Day" that’s worthy of celebration. After all, life is fragile and short. So many of us wait for a specific day or holiday to celebrate being alive, being free, and honoring a role that we inhabit. I’m so over that.
