Happy 4th of July

This is a re-posting of my July 4th 2012 post, with minor revisions.

I love the 4th of July.  I love the parades and the fireworks, the campfires, fired up grills, and the happy spirit of people gathered in town squares and lawns.  At its best this holiday honors people at their communal best, of what brought this country together and what makes us great.  

 

On the Fourth of July it seems that all our bickering should be put aside and we should just celebrate how lucky we are, or at least have a piece of pie, some ice cream, or a snow cone.

 

Although my original plans for today were washed out, weather permitting, I hope to meet some friends downtown, enjoy a concert, and see some fireworks.

 

Hope you have a lovely 4th!

  • I used to think of myself as continually distracted, but that is far from the truth. The truth is that I find the world to be filled with fascinating things that capture my attention. When I am doing something I love, be it reading a book, listening to music, sewing, knitting, learning something new, or just daydreaming, I am so totally focused that the intrusion of the world comes as something of a shock. There are so many things pulling at my hearstrings, so many things in which to lose myself, so many things tempting away from my one true passion ..... of the moment. I want to explore them all. Despite these changing passions, there are some constants in my affections: sewing, knitting, style and clothing, music, food. These are the main topics I will consider here, although there will be digressions and explorations as well.
