Dear Gratitude Journal :

Even the a-political have some trepidation this election eve. I’m grateful we have elections, and that we have enough people and infrastructure in place to ensure voting is fair. I’m grateful it’s easier to vote than it used to be. Voting by mail is good, so is having polling places open early. And, I’m grateful I live in California. I have more rights, and am more protected here than anyplace else on Earth. I’m happy to pay my taxes for that.

The end.
