It's the little things.    I was so happy when, at a baseball game, I could stand up for the national anthem and not feel weird about it.  I felt strange but thrilled when I signed some birthday cards at work.  Then, a couple of months later, I bought my wife a birthday card and present.  So exciting to do these things that I'm sure one day I'll take for granted.

“This I believe: That the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.”

-John Steinbeck
