While this is the day of cook outs, pool parties and fireworks, there are a lot of things to be thankful about this Fourth of July. I’m thankful for:
* personal liberties
* religious freedom
* my health
* my family
* my dog
* friendships, whether seasonal or lifetime
* the roof over my head
* the clothes on my back
* the shoes on my feet
* the food in my belly (Clearly, now that you have seen a picture of me, you know I never miss a meal.) ;)
* the ups and downs of my life – that’s the only way you grow
* the men and women of the military, who even though they don’t get paid what they are truly worth, still feel the conviction to serve their country…some of them time and time again (I should know – I’m a veteran.)
Those are just a few of the things I’m thankful for this 4th. It’s a good time to be introspective. So…what are you thankful for this Independence Day?
And have a great 4th!
