Today's topic, What place are you most grateful for?
I find it completely ironic that this is the topic for today. With all the social media posts last night and this morning about our civic duty every 4 years and the opinions of many (in which they should be allowed to express as a group of people living in a democracy), the topic of moving out of our country is widespread.
I'm not making this day of gratefulness to be a political post, but rather a time to share that I'm most grateful for the United States of America. Despite my feelings on who was elected, who wasn't elected, I still woke up this morning, did my morning routine and put my son on a bus to go and learn at a place I trust.
My home is in one piece, my vehicle got me to work. I'm working with technology that allows me to do my job and support my family. This place, the USA, is what I'm grateful for. That I get to live with the love of my life, raise our children, make positive memories with family and friends... how can I not be grateful for that?
My gut may have told me that the President-Elect is not the role model I want for my son, a person I would trust with my daughter and overall does not have the demeanor nor skill set to run this country, however, I will give the respect to the position. I hope he and others prove me wrong. Show the USA that you can make it better. That should be the goal of any candidate. Your job is to leave it better than you found it.
I'm grateful for my country and it's because of the people I know who are in it.
