Fourth of July

Today isn't the fourth of July, it's the second day of July, but thoughts of the upcoming holiday are in my mind. I love the 4th of July. It is one of the best days of the year, no matter where I am, or what sort of celebration I have, it is a day I look forward to and cherish for many reasons.

Firstly, I am terribly proud to be an American and love to celebrate our nation's freedom.
Secondly, I loved the happy, carefree and playful celebrations of this holiday I had as a child. Each year, I remember them with fondness and still look forward to fireworks.
Thirdly, this holiday represents the true start of summer for me. Lazy days, happy mornings when I don't have to rush out to work.
A true blessing in many ways.
Happy Fourth !
