Independence
The Fourth of July, like Passover, is a very moving Holiday for me. I love hearing our National Anthem and “America the Beautiful.” Old Glory waves at me from every corner. I ooh and aah like a 5 year old, as the night sky flashes and sparkles with shiny glitter that twinkles and winks at me.
I think of the men and women, and their families, who have given so much to preserve my independence. I am grateful.
I found a quote about Independence that I really resonated with, and I want to share this gift with you.
“Independence is a heavy draught, and if you drink it in your youth, it can have the same effect on the brain as young wine does. It does not matter that its taste is not always appealing. It is addictive and with each drink you want more.” ~Maya Angelou
Inviting you to let the energy of Independence Day linger in your consciousness like the last burst of fireworks fading from the night sky.
