The truth is, I miss being here. My brain has been full of thoughts these last few months. The election made me so crazy I couldn't even write about it.
Someone told me that everyone should think of a gratitude statement for each day in November. I was slow to get started, but I came up with a list I'm thankful for.
First of all, today is World Toilet Day. That should be a pretty big deal, but aside from CNN, it has been mostly ignored by mainstream media. If you want to know what it is and why it matters, click here.
I am thankful for toilets. Not just for toilets, but for toilets that function well and for good water pressure and for sewage systems that work without a glitch. Amen.
