Patriotic & proud

As I write this, I am sitting on the beach, a cold drink nearby, sand beneath my toes, husband and pups playing in the sun. I am feeling blessed to live in this country and have all that I have. I'm thankful for the freedoms we enjoy, which of course are not free. And I'm thankful for the bright sunshine, ocean breeze, and salty air that do wonders for the soul. Back home, our flag is flying on our front stoop, as it does nearly year-round, displaying our patriotism.

So proud to be an American and loving this Independence Day.
