The 4th

Watching the fireworks light up the sky with beautiful colors and a KA-BOOM with every shot into the air. It’s so beautiful and only happens once a year in the U.S. of A. I was sitting and watching those fireworks light up the sky, holding my dog tightly cause with every BOOM he shook and I’m pretty sure his heart rate went racing up with every BOOM! Lol! But my dad brought it to my attention and said “you know it’s kinda sad that in other countries that this is normal. That a bomb going off is normal, and shots lighting up in the sky are normal. And yet here in the U.S.A it’s a once a year thing. It’s cool. And fun!” I’m not saying that you shouldn’t shoot fireworks or that you can’t enjoy the 4th, but I’m saying to remember that freedom isn’t free and that we are extremely lucky to live in a place where that isn’t normal! I sure am thankful for a place like the good ol’U.S of A! So go out and enjoy the rest of the weekend and leave it with a big KA-BOOM and lights in the sky!
