Patriotic | Week 27 of Project 52
Wow! The Fourth of July has come and gone already. This year is flying by! Little Man and I are at my mom’s here in Texas and enjoyed a fine evening with great company, good food, lots of swimming and of course, fireworks! The Fourth of July has always been one of my very favorite holidays.
I grew up in a tiny little town in the Texas Panhandle called Canadian, and let me tell you, they take this holiday seriously! There’s a huge parade, turtle races, food, a rodeo (one of the oldest annual rodeos in Texas), and fireworks. The entire town comes out for this party day! A love for my country and an appreciation of our freedom was instilled in me as a very young girl. I love this country and the opportunities that it affords.
I am thankful to be alive here and now, and I intend to always be of service to others, sharing hope and love and the idea that there is always a way if you keep moving forward.
