today I cleaned

July 4th, 2005 is my day to clean, sort, recycle and bag for charity. I am planning to meet friends later at their lake house for fireworks and the more traditional holiday activities. Of course, not far from anyone's mind are those who are overseas. Regardless of one's political views, the men and women who aren't with family today are remembered and revered. We will enjoy the usual fireworks, and as one letter to the editor put it, these lights in the sky aren't supposed to kill anyone.
I pray for all humankind everywhere on this great planet of ours that their day will pass peacefully. Wouldn't that be something to weep with joy over?
