Take a moment to appreciate our freedom and salute the USA. Remember what others have given to win and preserve our liberties.
Be reflective, grateful and happy! Our ancesters came to America for a better life. We can repay them by striving for purpose, committment, contentment and happiness in life.
We honor the day with red, white and blue, the colors of the U.S. flag, borrowed from the Union Jack, the flag of Great Britain, America's mother country. In the American flag, the 3 hues represent "vigilance, perservance and justice." (Here's the history behind it.)

ReplyDeleteWell said, Savvy Shopper. I love the bling, and the sentiment. Happy Independence Day Debra.
ReplyDeleteDearest Debbie,
ReplyDeleteWell, this year's 4th of July went a bit past me due to the death of my Dad. I was not with it... so many things going on. It feels good for having some solid and warm caring family members and dear friends!
Tomorrow we will celebrate a 'late' 4th of July with friends and their family.
Looking forward to it now the cremation day is finally over...
Hugs,
Mariette
Sounds like you need a hug, Mariette ... xoxo. Happy to hear you will be surrounded by friends this weekend.
DeleteDearest Debbie,
