Four Ways to Have Fun This 4th of July (Or Anytime)

     For those who do not know, the 4th of July is a holiday in the United States where we celebrate our independence.  Americans kick back, relax, and enjoy the day by themselves, family, and/or significant other.  However, the question is how should a person enjoy the day?  There are so many different things to do but little time to do it.  Well, here are four ways to have fun on this 4th of July.  If you are not from the United States, use the information here to have fun anytime and anywhere!
1. Road Trip
     Road trips are a great way to see the world and explore new possibilities.  This 4th of July, it would be a good idea to get out of the house, go somewhere you have never been before, and see what they have in store.  Find new restaurants to go to, shop in stores you have never heard of before, or go to a park which you never would have gone to otherwise.  You will not only expand your horizons, but you may end up using the knowledge you gained to have more fun later down the line.  It is suggested that you do this with your family, friends, or significant other to maximize enjoyment.
2. Light or Go See Fireworks
     As long as it is legal to do so, there is nothing more fun than buying some fireworks and setting them off in your backyard.  Many people do this at their 4th of July cookouts and you will most likely hear them throughout the day.  If anything, it is a great way to get everybody pumped for the party you are having.  Just be sure to have safety precautions in place to prevent injury and problems from occurring.  Search on Google if you do not know where to buy fireworks.  Chances are, there is a place close to your location to purchase them.  If you do not want to set off fireworks, chances are there will be a location where you can watch someone else do it.  Try the beach.  Many beaches set off fireworks over the ocean and it is a breathtaking experience.
3. Backyard Cookout
     The classing backyard cookout is a great 4th of July idea.  Instead of dealing with increased activity out on the road, why not stay in the comfort of your own home, grill some burgers, and hang out with friends and family?  If you have a pool, go swimming, if not, grab a sprinkler.  Pop a few beers and enjoy the day.  It is everything you need and more with little hassle.
4. Beach Day
     If you do not feel like having a cookout in your backyard, take it to the beach.  Invite your friends and family to a beach day; the sun, sand, and food.  This is a great way to get everybody together for some fun and to make memories.  A lot of people tend to do this, which is why many people have mixed feelings about going thinking it will be very busy.  However, to those people, the beach is always busy in the summer.  Just because there are extra people there does not mean it should impact your fun this 4th of July.  It will be well worth the memories made.

The Importance of Giving PT.2 - the Dos and Don'Ts

     Should we expect to be praised for our deeds or to receive nothing in return?  Does ego play a role in generosity or is humbleness a necessary mindset?  A year ago, we talked about the importance of giving and how beneficial it is to both the giver and the receiver (Link here if interested:  https://scanlonblogs.blogspot.com/2018/11/blog-8-giving.html ).  We also talked about how happiness comes from giving and helping others and how material wealth only goes so far.  What we did not discuss is what we should anticipate and the proper way to behave throughout the process.  The art of giving involves understanding the dos and don'ts based on the situation at hand.  Not every instance of generosity will include the same factors as the previous one.      Do you believe kindness should be met with a reward?  I personally believe it depends on the situation, but we should never expect to be rewarded.  If you give money to a homeless man, your act of kindness may not lead to anyt

Three Life-Long Lessons to Remember #2

     Do you need a reminder of what is important in life?  How about the proper way to handle a situation when feeling angry or stressed?  If so, you have come to the right place.  If you know these bits of information already, just remember its important to be reminded every now and again.  So, without further adieu, here are three life-long lessons to remember #2. 1. Money Isn’t Everything      Wouldn’t it be nice if tomorrow, you won the lottery?   The sheer joy you’d feel would probably be something you’ve never experienced before.   What would you do with the money: buy a house, go on an exotic vacation, quit your job?   When this type of pleasure flows over you, the possibilities feel endless.   No matter what you do, being financially free would make you happy, at least for a while.   Eventually, you would want something more than just financial freedom.   Having money is great, but what are you going to do with your money and newly acquired spare time?      We need

The Meaning of Thanksgiving - a Few Words to Remember

     Tonight's blog will be shorter than usual due to Thanksgiving, but I still wanted to leave you guys with a few things to remember.  Thanksgiving, or any holiday for that matter, is about family, friends, and making memories, wouldn't you agree?  Personally, I love being able to see my extended family, even if it's for a short while.  The holiday season is, to some, the only time they are able to get together with family and enjoy their company.  Sometimes we need to be reminded of this, so we remember to enjoy the time spent together.  Even if you do not get along with some of your family members, times like these are perfect for making amends if possible.  Do you have any memories like this?  If so, I would love to hear them in the comments.  Overall, remember that Thanksgiving is more than just about eating but sharing a moment with those you love.  Happy Thanksgiving everybody and I hope your day is filled with food, family, and memories. 📖  Be sure to add S
