Happy New Year! Here’s to 2024.
I hope everyone has some happiness and cheer this year. I know the entire year cannot be happy, so I am hoping you all have moments . . . the more the better.

Normally my Friday Photos are pictures that I take, but my friend sent me this and I just had the idea to use it as a pre-4th of July Friday Photo. She made fireworks out of alliums. So creative and so cool! They look awesome. They look like fireworks.
Happy Fourth of July!

When I got home from Nia one day last week, my husband was “singing” this song. I could not tell what he was singing so he found it on the internet and played if for me. I really love it. I think it is great. This song is from Katy Perry’s album Teenage Dream. Every time I hear it I get teary-eyed. I hoping to get over that soon as I received the album as a Christmas gift and I keep playing it over and over.
FIREWORK
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind wanting to start again
Do you ever feel feel so paper-thin
like a house of cards one blow from caving in
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under screams but not one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there’s still a chance for you ‘cause there’s a spark in you
You just gotta
Ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the Fourth of July
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on and show ‘em what you’re worth
Make ‘em go, “Aah, aah, aah”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go, “Aah, aah, aah”
You’re gonna leave them all in awe, awe, awe
You don’t have to feel like a wasted space
You’re original cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds after a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe a reason why all the doors were closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt your heart will glow
And when it’s time you’ll know
You just gotta
Ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the Fourth of July
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on and show ‘em what you’re worth
Make ‘em go, “Aah, aah, aah”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go, “Aah, aah, aah”
You’re gonna leave them all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It’s always been inside of you, you, you
And now its time to let it through-ooo-ooo
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on and show ‘em what you’re worth
Make ‘em go, “Aah, aah, aah”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
‘Cause baby, you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go, “Aah, aah, aah”
You’re gonna leave them all in awe, awe, awwwwwwwwe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Can this be the song that the crowd stops their conversation for, raises their glasses, and sings along. Can this be the new anthem? Can we cheer each other on? Can this be the new girls’ night out song? Can we throw out “I’ve Got Friends In Low Places” and “Before He Cheats” and embrace what everyone has inside? What do you think?
This song was written by: Katy Perry, Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Sandy Wilheim, and Ester Dean
