I hope this finds you all well.
Today in America, we celebrate Independence Day.
Synonymous with cookouts, family time, and fireworks.
Today we honor those soldiers who fight to make sure our country remains free (like Camille's husband, Brad; tell him I said thank you for serving our country!)
Sometimes I think we take our freedom for granted, which is sad.
Every day, I am thankful for the chance to wake up when I want, wear what I want, say pretty much whatever I want, and worship in the way that I choose.
Not all nations get those chances, and for that, Americans should be grateful.
Anywho, time for me to get down off my soapbox!
We are going to my aunt's house for a cookout today.
Love family time, dislike the lack of healthy food.
I wish I could say I have a plan, but every time I make one, they never work out, so I am just gonna wing it and hope for the best, haha!
I am not going to work out until later tonight because I am really sore this morning and want to give my muscles some more time to heal before I break them down again.
I feel really good today, though, and I am hoping that feeling stays. :)
Have a wonderful day, my lovelies!
Stay positive, stay beautiful! <3

ReplyDeleteHappy Independence day to you as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling good today, and I am too! Maybe it's just the holiday, hehe xP
You're such a freaking sweetie for giving me a shoutout in your blog!! :D
ReplyDeleteThere are never healthy foods on the fourth. Some people get lucky and have those vegetable platters... but then there's usually ranch in the middle so you're kind of fucked either way. lol
I hope you had a great fourth! Since the holiday is finally over I hope I'll be able to text back more often. I feel like such a bitch for not texting back. I've just been so freaking busy this weekend! AHH!!
LOVE YOUUUU!!!!
Very well said! A lot of times we do take our freedom for granted. It's one of those things that we don't fully appreciate until it's gone. I have trouble making plans too- every single time I plan something in advance (like food for the day or an exercise routine), none of them go like I want them too! I hope you had a wonderful 4th! ♥
