November 1, 2011:
Today, I am thankful for my freedom. I think it is something we forget we have. I had lunch with my parents today, and during lunch my mom reminded me that I needed to vote. It was just little things in the school district, so I didn't think it was that big of a deal. She explained that I could drop it off on my way to work, so I decided to quickly fill out the questions. My mom then started talking about how lucky we are to even be able to vote for things we want, instead of being told what we have to do. She told me of a friend of hers that had just gotten back from visiting his 100 year old father in the Middle East. This man, who is from the Middle East as well, told my mom, "The United States really is the best place to live!" We are so lucky and blessed to have the things we do and live in such a wonderful place. I am thankful for the people who are serving our country and pray for their safe return. :)
