It’s the 4th of July, Independence Day, so it’s natural to include our that on my Gratitude List.
A few years ago, I began a new tradition. I watch [tweetthis]“Citizen U.S.A.: A 50 State Road Trip,” by Alexandra Pelosi. I only need to watch the trailer to get goosebumps. [/tweetthis] You can find the whole documentary on YouTube.com. With all the rancor and vitriol of an presidential election year, it’s good to remember how great my country is.
Here are a few more things on my list, in no particular order.
[icon name=”fire” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]Fireworks with family, surrounded by friendly strangers and noisy kids.
[icon name=”fire” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]Telephone calls that last so long I must excuse myself to go to the bathroom.
[icon name=”fire” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]Pulled pork on pretzel buns.
[icon name=”fire” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]Authors who agree to visit my Book Club. Thank you Clayton Smith. I know we’ll have so much fun.
[icon name=”fire” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]Authors who have lunch with me. Erane Elizabeth Scully and Ronne Hartfield, I do love you.
[icon name=”fire” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]Authors who allow me to interview them. Yes, later this week, I will introduce you to another author. Yay!
[icon name=”fire” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]A wish granted: A day when I have no demands, just do what I want. Today.
What’s on your gratitude list this week? You always remind me of more reasons to say thank you.
