Voting

I have to admit, I went and voted at 6:30 this morning. I didn't know when my husband was going to be home from work this evening, so it seemed only smart to get that done quickly and check it off my "to do" list. I'm so grateful to live in a country where I can have a say. I was trying to explain to my 4 year-old this morning how important it is for us to be able to be a part of choosing what our laws are and who our leaders are. What a responsibility and what a privilege. Sometimes I know I totally take it for granted that I can wear what I want to wear, marry who I want to marry, worship Who I want to worship, and really be who I want to be. Too many people in the world can't say that. And what's more, I look around at how well off I am, just because I live in America, and I'm grateful. I hope that I never lose sight of all the blessings I have because of where I was born.
