Today I am grateful for:
- A beautiful, gorgeous summer
- The giant box of vegetables that mysteriously appeared on our doorstep
- My scrambled egg & cheddar cheese sandwich, on whole wheat molasses bread with the homemade ketchup I bought. (I adore ketchup).
- I have a amazing job in which I get to do meaningful work that serves people and the great good, for which I get paid a living wage, and I get to work with amazing, supportive, collaborative, cool people. You all often only get to hear me talk about the bad things or vent about how stressed out I am, but, even so, I love my job.
- I have two real prospects for even better jobs, with all of the above qualities, plus a potential third prospect.
- All the people of conscience who have stood up and spoke up for social justice and liberty over the past few decades.
- For my parents, who raised me to believe in social justice and to work for it. I remain astonished by their examples of lives spent in the service of others.
