Happy 4th.

Think back over your years of 4th’s of July.  Think of the words that describe your memories, the colors, the smells, the sounds.  The birthday of our country is always filled with vibrant fireworks that puncture the night air, warm parades with crazy floats and lots and lots of salt water taffy in pastel colors.  The nobility of the flag passing by and the pride that swells the heart with love for all that those stars and stripes represent.  This year can be another lovely memory added to the vault…

Happy Challenge:
 

Relish every part of today. Then record your memories of the day to keep forever.  Not just what you participated in, but the sights, the sounds, the pungent smells.  Be descriptive in your journal to fully convey the details of your holiday.  It will be so memorable to go back year after year and read your July 4th entries and how they change and mold over time….
