I am grateful that I have been able to serve my community for nearly 33 years.
I am grateful that I am now retiring.
I am grateful for two smart, funny, resilient children who so far have shown no signs of Republicanism. Ha. Who work hard and understand serving others.
I am grateful for the familial chaos I will get to participate in on Thursday. So many people. So many conversations. And I say a prayer for those who don't get that glorious chaos.
I am grateful for scoop. Speaking of glorious chaos.
I am grateful for heroes who charge the gun.
I say a prayer for those who are mourning due to a recent loss of a loved one. I pray that one day they can look back with love and remember all of the good that was in the person they lost without it reopening their broken heart. And that God blesses them in their mourning.
I am grateful to those who protect us. Be it the military, first responders, medical personnel. Think of those working while you are enjoying your day.
Peace to all of you. May you find a way to take some time and actually reflect on all that you have to be grateful for.
