A bunch of us went to the riverfront to watch the July 4th fireworks on Sunday. Initially, I was hoping it would rain so we could just go somewhere and chill instead of sitting out in the humidity and get bitten by mosquitoes. Unfortunately, the rain stayed away the entire day, so we ended up goin to the park after grabbing dinner for Grace's bday.
All in all, playing cards, tossing frisbee a bit, and watching the fireworks with friends was a pretty enjoyable experience: more than I had anticipated. One thing that really stood out to me while I was watching the fireworks was the look on one of the guy's face as he was watching the lights. I kid you not, his mouth was open, eyes glued to the sky and there was such an intense gaze and sense of awe that even after I laughed a bit at the sight, I couldn't help but feel a bit jealous that he was enjoying the fireworks that much.
I want to have that child-like wonder again in my life where all of life's distractions and worries simply don't matter.
