Adding your own meaning to traditional holidays
It’s Independence Day Weekend, but for many, this weekend signifies Independence from the old onto the new. I never thought of Independence Day weekend as an opportune time to move, but now it all makes sense; this weekend signifies a fresh start, a refresh, a reset, a time of beginnings, and a time to let go of the past and endings.
We can always add our own meaning to holidays to make them fit our goals and needs at the time. What else could Independence Day mean for you outside of America gaining its independence? Maybe there is more meaning you could find not only in this holiday but in the rest of them.
