My sister and her family visited us in Boston the week of the 4th to see the spectacular Boston Pops evening and climactic fireworks display. As those of you know who go to events with huge crowds such as this 500,000 person event, someone has to go early to stake out a good spot. This means Kathy was there at 1:30 for the 8 pm evening event.  And I entertained my family with a limited tour of downtown Boston and the aquarium on the harbor.

Having done this several times before and not sure how exciting it would be, I was pleased to find an exhibition of jellyfish. So calming and beautiful to relax and watch them swim and probably watch the strange spectators who attach themselves to the glass to watch the fish. And I was fascinated to find there actually is a red, white and blue fish. So fascinated, I had to take a picture.  Although some of the color was lost through the glass tank, the fish appreciated their moment of fame.

Those who see visions of cool water, dolphins etc, can look at www.neaq.org/index.php for more information.

Then it struck me, this was such a usable point to share with you, because the bottom line Gary always looks for why, and how, in addition to when, where, and who.

And this thought popped in my mind. When I let myself relax and take advantage of the moment, good things or pleasant events flow into my life.  The key is not always to work the hardest.  Why isn't my goal more often to accept great results or gifts that appear for some unknown reason?  After all, that unknown reason probably occurred from seeds I had planted in the past.

Oh, and the Pops music was breathtaking and the fireworks display was spectacular.
