Affirmation for July 3-5, 2009 Independence Day Weekend: Erma Bombeck

You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. ~Erma Bombeck   Have a great weekend and celebrate safely!   Doug       Remember, you can also receive DailyStrength updates by following us on Twitter and Facebook.
