Holly and I are headed to Phoenix in the morning to celebrate my dad's graduation on the 6th. I will blog more about that when we return, but here is my thought for the holiday:
"How often we fail to realize our good fortune in living in a country where happiness is more than a lack of tragedy." - Paul Sweeney, author
Plus you can't have a fourth without:
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands, which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
~ Declaration of Independence

Happy 4th!
Trey just did that show, you know...
Great post, Justin! I think something that a lot of folks forget these days is that one of these unalienable rights is the PURSUIT of happiness. A lot of people these days seem to feel that happiness itself is a guarantee (which relates to your previous post).
