Hi everyone,

My quotation today is in honour of all our US members who are celebrating Independence Day today.

Sometimes National pride can manifest in the wrong way, but in terms of belonging to a nation that fought bravely for its independence, celebrating that day should be a matter of great pride.

Who better to choose for my quotation than John Adams, statesman, attorney, diplomat, writer, and Founding Father of the USA who served as the second president of the United States, from 1797 to 1801. (Wikipedia)

"If national pride is ever justifiable or excusable, it is when it springs, not from power or riches, but from conviction of national innocence, information and benevolence."

Blessings to all Americans and a happy day to everyone!

I live in the US. Thank you for thinking of us and the blessings. There's a lot of emotional turmoil and upheaval here and it makes me sad for my country. I'm especially feeling stressed this weekend as I have post partum stress and there was rioting near me. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts. God bless 💙
