Happy Fourth of July

by JM

confetti.jpgHello everyone and happy Fourth of July! I am not in the States anymore, but that doesn’t mean I have forgotten all the fireworks shows, cookouts, and family get togethers on this particular day in July. For everyone who is celebrating, I wish each and every one of you a safe and happy holiday. The fourth is one of the most fun holidays I celebrated when I was back in the States, so I hope you make the best of it.

By the way, if you want to know some interesting things about watermelon, you might want to check out Finally Getting Fit.

This is Friday, which has been a ‘weekend homework’ day in the past. This weekend is easy. Just make the most of the time you spend with family and friends this weekend. Make sure the people who are important to you know how important they are to you. Don’t put things off. Don’t take people/things for granted. You never know what will happen tomorrow.

No, I’m not being morbid or anything. I’m just reminding you – if you need reminding me – to fully appreciate what you have.

And with that, I again wish you a safe and happy holiday if you are celebrating. If you’re like me and live outside the US, that doesn’t mean you can’t hold a ‘just because’ celebration anyway and catch up with friends and family. Make it a pot luck and you won’t even have to cook much!

Have a good one.
