Dear Gratitude Journal :

There’s a lot to be grateful for today. For most of my life, I took the right to vote for granted. I don’t anymore. And, I’m grateful to those who died for us to have that right, and grateful to those who continue to fight for us to have a voice. I’m grateful I’ve spent more time asking, “Why?” It’s given me clarity of purpose. And, I’m grateful to get back on the diet train. Overindulging isn’t as fun as it used to be.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful for autumn and for the turn of leaves. I’m grateful for all the early voters. I, too, have been waiting four years to cast my ballot. #blue And, I’m grateful that I’m open to change.
