November 5

Today I am grateful for an hour of sleep this morning, a day off from the gym so I could vote.  I am grateful to live in a place where I have the right to vote,  make my voice heard and work towards positive change alongside my neighbors.  As I filled in oval after oval, saying yes to the opportunity to pay more taxes... I realized I am grateful for a government that works to use my contributions for the greater good (at least, I hope it will be for the greater good.  As long as a few key issues pass...). I am grateful for a few moments of playing playmobil with my daughter, snuggling and chatting with my son.  I am grateful for warm tea and a warm dog and time spent with my husband, who always makes me laugh.
