Today, I am grateful for hot food and cold, clean water, and am reminded that some people don't have either.
Today, I am grateful for the veterans who have served my country. Some died in that service, some are elderly and walk around in baseball caps marking their service, and some are 18 years old and in harm's way as I type. I am grateful for their service. Boundlessly grateful. I am reminded that some people don't have others willing to die for their freedom.
Today, I am grateful for laughter and joy and love, and I am reminded that some people live without them.
Today, I am grateful to be able to do something to help some people.
