This morning, while fixing my daily coffee to take with me to work, I broke out into full song, singing the Yankee's 7th inning stretch song (aka God Bless America, the version by Kate Smith) in light of this holiday weekend. Last year, I was out of the country for the 4th of July and I have to say, I really missed celebrating our country's independence. It's such a patriotic time of the year, paying thanks to all of the unpredictable steps that have gotten us to where we are today and the people that made that happen. There is so much talk of "doom and gloom" regarding The United States of America, thanks to our over-anxious media outlets, and at the end of the day, so many people forget how lucky we truly are to be American. So at the start of this holiday weekend, I just want to say: Thank You, America, for being my home sweet home.
