“Celebration”
4th of July-Independence weekend, We went to a Pawtucket Red Sox game July 3. Baseball, BBQ and Fireworks. ….though it’s fun to enjoy a BBQ and fireworks, that’s not the underlining reason we celebrate Independence Day.
We celebrate the fact that our founding fathers were able to break from their original government and rulers to create a nation of their own.
My husband and I at one point watch the movie version of “1776”. According to the play and history, becoming a nation came down to the last minutes of the last hour.
Well, This Pawsox was an unusual game. A long game ensued. The game went into 16th inngs.No one knew who was going to win. At the beginning of the bottom of the 16th inning, the Clippers were one run ahead. The Pawsox would get one runner on first base. The next batter up hit the ball out of the park to bring in 2 runs and win the game. woohoooo
At the climax of “1776” play, the representatives were down by one vote. There had to be a majority of “Yes” votes to be able to sign the Declaration of Independence. In the last minutes of the last hour, a representative stepped up and put a vote in for “Yes”.
Our country would become a nation, The United States of America.
Two hundred Forty years later our country is still going strong.
Now that the Pawsox won, We got to see the Fireworks. Yeah!
Was it worth the wait? We didn’t get home until after midnight. Yes it was.
Happy Independence!
Best,
Lisa G.

“Putting Smiles on Faces”
It can be so heart warming to do something that puts a smile on someone’s face.
Even more exciting is when one can put a smile on many peoples faces.
I had a recent opportunity where I did Face painting at an event.
The Event was an Open House at Horses Bring Hope therapeutic riding program.
I got organized at my table and painted the director’s daughter’s face. Once others noticed the face painting table, they came over to have their daughter’s and son’s face painted.
I had a sheet of some images they could look at so they could choose which image they wanted.
I asked each child what they wanted. Then I painted their face.
When I held up the mirror for them to see it, a smile would light up on their face.
How wonderful a feeling to be able to put a smile on someone’s face.
We all want to be able to bring happiness to others.
We all have talents and gifts. I believe we are meant to use our talents to serve others.
And in this case to bring a smile to someone’s face.
Warmly,
Lisa G.
