Today is a "National Holiday" honoring the memory of the legend, Martin Luther King Jr. I always find it weird (for lack of a better word) to hear someone say, or myself say, "Happy MLK Day!" It does not seem like that type of holiday. I hope it is more than that. I hope it is a day for most to remember, and reflect on, not only the man, but what he stood for, and why we remember him. He had a dream, and that dream is still alive. Enjoy today and continue to dream!
