On July 4, 1776 America became an independent nation. Celebrated with fireworks, sparklers and parties that consist of food shaped like the American flag, it is easy to say that the fourth of July is never a small celebration.
Growing up I spent my 4th of July's at the beach. My family and friends and their family and friends would gather at our beach club and spend the entire day running into the ocean, eating hamburgers and fries and laying out in the sun getting a tan. The smell of sunscreen and tanning oil was a familiar, comforting scent that reminded me of summer, sun and smiles. Fireworks would go off as soon as the sun set and we would gather around the fire roasting s'mores.
This 4th of July I want to encourage you to start your own tradition or take part in one that you already have because Independence Day is meant to be celebrated with friends and family, doing something that you love and smiling and laughing along the way.
