Celebrating the 4th of July in 2020

on Tuesday, 30 June 2020. Posted in Doctor of Fitness

Well, it isn’t the 4th of July that we all imagined just a year ago. While some states have begun to reopen, many others still have restrictions in place, especially ones involving large gatherings. The moral of the story is that the 4th of July may look a little different this year. If you live in one of the states that’s permitting large crowds, then by all means go out and enjoy. Even so, please practice good habits and stay safe.

For everyone else, a little creativity might be required to make the most of the holiday.

You don’t have to stay indoors. Camp out under the stars. Have a day of fun and games. Sometimes the best games are the ones you make up yourself. Rather than being upset because things are a little different, use the opportunity to see how innovative you can be. Remember fun is where you make it. 

Make it a volunteer day. It’s been a tough time for many people in the community, so why not take the time to do something for others. Knit a blanket, put together care packages for the less fortunate, reach out to your local charities to find out what they need. Find something that’s meaningful and make it a memorable holiday because you did something for others. 

Of course, it wouldn’t be Independence Day without a great barbeque. If you’re unable to go out, that just means you have more money for quality eats. Wondering what to make? Well here are some ideas from Country Living and Good Housekeeping that should satisfy any palette. 

Yes, Independence Day might be different this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate. Be creative, be resourceful and above all stay safe and healthy.
