July 4th

Happy July 4th to all who read this!

Today is a day when the charcoal gets to have a go around at another perfect burger or dog. Today is a day when the little ones have their eyes wider than golf balls as they run up to the fireworks stand to grab sparklers and roman candles. Today is a day when young love can reach a new step as Johnny Q pulls the girlfriend a little bit closer to steal a kiss beneath the explosions in the sky. Today is a day when those family gatherings turn into days that wont soon be forgotten because it might have been the last time you saw that loved one. Today is a day when watermelon taste its best under the hot southern sun. Today is a day when I recall all the other 4th that I have experienced and thank God that I have the upbringing and country that I have been blessed with. Yes, today is a day I count my blessings. All of the past 4th of Julys will help contribute to how amazing this day truly is. Not just to me, but every soul in this country. These days freedom doesn't come for free but as we hold on to what freedom we have, we should embrace what we are blessed with and remember the good times.
