To all my U.S. readers:

Happy 4th of July! As you celebrate our countries independence, why not also celebrate all your wonderful accomplishments (big and small). Today is about celebrating, so why not celebrate!

To everyone:
I think sometimes we get so busy, that we often forget to celebrate our accomplishments. So, what have you done this past year that is worth celebrating? Think of all the big and small things you have done, or just count your blessings and celebrate those.

Things I'll celebrate:

My family
My friends
My dogs
My wonderful little house, that gets better all the time
My pool
My health (and that I finally had that surgery to remove those ugly vericose veins--I've never felt better in shorts!)
My job (I'm working at home again this summer and loving it--I really wish I could turn this into my always job)
My book--still working on the re-writes, but still extremely proud that I WROTE A BOOK!
My son's graduation, and new journey to college
My continued enthusiasm for art--I'm so glad I rediscovered it

Oh, I could go on, and on, but I want to go celebrate and enjoy the day.

So, what are you going to celebrate (Please let me know, I would love to hear it, so I can celebrate with you!)

Great idea for a post, Kelly.

I'm celebrating:

1. My steady-but-sure progress at getting back into shape!
2. My family
3. Our health
4. Our humble but wonderful home set in our humble but wonderful small town
5. That the baby got over screaming with his bike helmet on and enjoys our family bike rides.
6. Family bike rides and hikes
7. The "Creative Women" list :)

Today turned out to be a great day. Rich got out of work early (1pm instead of 3pm as he first thought. I still don't know why he had to work at all but I was happy to have him home by 1:30pm)
The 3 of us went to a festival in our town. Lillianna saw a magic show and her favorite storyteller. I wrote about this on my blog earlier today.
It's 10:40pm and we just got home from the best fireworks display that I have ever seen outside of EPCOT!! Phenomenal!!!
It was one of those rare days when the 3 of us could spend time together and it was wonderful.
Happy 4th!!
