I feel like complaining, so I won't.

What better remedy for the curse of the mope than to count my blessings? Today is July 4th, for crying out loud! If I can't find something to be grateful for, I'm doomed. So without further ado, I am grateful today for: 

James Taylor

fireworks

my adorable nephew

FREEDOM

Darth Vader in the form of a hot air balloon

storm troopers that show up to support said balloon

rain

Heather, who reads my blog

missionaries!

Harry Potter (book #4, to be specific), and the Weasleys' sense of humor

BYU apparel

sparklers

really cutesy cake (see below)

patriotism

parade entertainment

Rummikub

homemade ice cream

mi familia

And I suppose that's just a start, covering my happy points for only one day. I am incredibly blessed! Thank you, blog, for helping me realize it right now. Happy Fourth of July to everyone!
