Happy Independence Day, friends! This is my third favorite holiday (y’all know I get pretty serious about celebrating things) and I can’t wait to spend it with my friends and family members. This morning, I sat on my front porch to enjoy my usual, an overflowing cup of coffee, and I could already hear people laughing and lighting off fireworks in the distance. I swayed on my porch swing as I received sweet “Happy 4th” messages from friends. Between the cool breeze, the hot coffee, and the love pouring in, I couldn’t help but think how grateful I am for my life, my home, my country.
Yes, there has been struggle, hard times, and closed doors. But there has also been new beginnings, new friends to make, new experiences to be had. Our lives are pretty great and on a holiday like today, surrounded by our loved ones, it’s easy to remember just how lucky we truly are.
Hug your family today. Laugh with friends. Light fireworks, sing songs, eat delicious food, and take in the day. Soak it ALL in because we only have now! Most importantly, CELEBRATE! Celebrate this holiday, this beautiful day, this incredible life we GET to lead. Make the most out of your day and enjoy every single piece of it.
