  1. Maureen,
    This acrostic is a lovely way to celebrate the 4th. Have a wonderful day. I didn’t mention it in my post, but at the parade this morning I did not see one political sign or t-shirt other than the typical candidate candidate cars. It was a welcome sight.

    Maureen, I love the blending of quotes into the FREEDOM Acrostic! “Diligently practicing, not simply claiming” shows the proactive way to celebrate freedom – and it says a lot about how we live, too. Embracing life, dancing to the music of living. A lovely tribute to the freedoms we enjoy on our nation’s birthday!
