Fireworks explode over the Hudson River and the skyline of Manhattan during Independence Day ceremonies in New York, July 4, 2009.

NEW YORK – Fireworks lit the night sky above New York with a kaleidoscope of colors shooting 1,000 feet into the air on an Independence Day that began with the Statue of Liberty’s crown opening to the public for the first time since Sept. 11, 2001.
It was the nation’s biggest fireworks display, with more than 22 tons of pyrotechnics exploding Saturday over a mile-and-a-half of the Hudson River, a new vantage point for New York’s festivities. Millions of spectators watched from both sides of the river.

A Memorial Day Message
.
They were both there the first time he cried. It was a joyful sound. The sound of life beginning and they waited so long to hear it. Mom and Dad were proud of him as they saw his angel face.He grew to be a young man full of hope and pride. He had dreams and plans for the future. In fact, waiting for him back home was the girl of his dreams. They met at school and just like fairy tales and romance stories this love affair was the kind that was meant to be.
The last time they saw each other they made promises of faithfulness. They talked about the wedding and a dozen or more children of their own. He said “I love you more than anything in this world.” She cried and with tears running softly down her face she said, ” I will wait for you and while we are apart my heart will skip every other beat until your return.” Read More

You could find yourself pondering long-range plans, or trips to faraway places. A feeling of longing may accompany these thoughts, as well as a sense that the future is filled with promise. You may have the vision of your future firmly in mind with no doubt of your reaching it, but you could feel longing because you may not be sure what steps to take to get there. Such a desire is what will keep you moving toward your dreams, like a carrot dangling in front of a horse. These are three important elements of making your dreams reality, and you are certainly on the right track with feelings such as these. By making long-range plans, and infusing them with your desire and hope, you have all the pieces of the puzzle in your hands.

A Concrete Dream
Goals
…
Our desires act as fuel, propelling us toward new horizons. Without something to strive for, we stagnate and become stuck in ruts of our own making because we are unsure of what to do next. Goals are the dreams that we are willing to work for. When we set goals, we take responsibility for our lives and choose to wholeheartedly devote ourselves to our aspirations. Even if we only take the smallest steps toward achieving our ambitions, it is vital that we actively pursue our goals rather than just daydreaming about them. Having goals makes us feel good because it adds a sense of purpose and direction to our lives.
