Summary

My friends, tomorrow you and I will have the opportunity to participate fully once again in life. March with me, will you?

Choose to not merely watch passively, but to engage actively. Choose to put your swimsuit back on and jump into the pool. Choose to lift your voice, sing your song and march in your parade. Choose the joy you experienced as a kid!

If you truly want to love life, determine to engage in it, give it all you’ve got and love it with a passion. Because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.

Not just on the 4^th of July, but every day of the year.
