I was just sitting on my balcony watching the fireworks go off in the distance. They’re miles and miles and miles away and look so tiny from where I’m sitting but they still have such an impact. Still so magical.
What is it about fireworks that draw people in? They crackle and boom and make a big ruckus yet…in this moment…on this wonderful night…amidst all the beautiful lights and shapes. It is nothing but peaceful. It is calm. And calming.
I didn’t see any fireworks last July 4th and I already accepted that I was going to miss them this year as well. But this small sighting was a pleasant surprise. Just enough to hold me over until next July 4th. Because I WILL see fireworks next year. I must!
Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you all were able to see a little magic today.
