THE 4TH OF JULY!

"Liberty is the breath of life..."

~ George Bernard Shaw ~

It's the 4th of July again- the height of heat and summer- the blasting of fireworks, the sparkle of sparklers, the gathering for picnics- flags flying, corn on the cob. It's festive and fun... in theory, though it doesn't always play out that way.
     What's important to remember is the why of it and what we're really celebrating- our freedom, which is so easy to take for granted, and without which we would be limited and pinched.

I am grateful for my freedom!
