July, as an adult, is as bittersweet as it is reminiscent; a time
of year that arrives long before you are prepared and ends before you have the
opportunity to truly savor the nostalgic aroma of burning sparklers and toasted
marshmallow. Blink, and you’ll miss it—blink,
and you’ll be battling a serious case of yuletide cheer.

Though sometimes it seems short lived, this month has so much to
offer.
So much to celebrate.
So much to celebrate.
And even though we are a few days past due, we would love to take
the opportunity to voice our appreciation. We’re thankful for our freedoms; for
the potential we process, because of those freedoms. We’re thankful for the
courage of the generations before us, who fought for our futures without ever
seeing our faces. We’re thankful for the wisdom of our elders and our youth; our
country was founded on a healthy balance of both perspectives. We’re thankful
for unity. We’re thankful for the sacrifice so many have made, are making, and
will make for the protection of our country, our homes, and our families.
We’re thankful for the unwritten responsibility we have, as
Americans, to establish a sense of patriotism. And for the opportunity we have
to express that patriotism, not only during an annual firework display, but during
every given minute of every given day.
We’re thankful for this land, in which we live, and for those who
defend it.
Happy Independence Month :) Tis the season.
