It seems there are many people with post election blues.  I believe the way to get through that is to look around and see all that there is to be grateful for.  Before I even get out of my nice warm bed I am grateful for what a great mattress I have, it just snugs around me.  On the way to make coffee I am grateful for the particular blend that I love, its a combination of Hazelnut Decaf with a small amount of regular mixed in.  While I waited for the coffee this morning I listened to the wind whistling throught the trees and was grateful for my nice warm house in the mountains with pinon and juniper just outside my window.  On my way to the office I was grateful for the blazingly blue sky and the marvels of engineering that constructed the freeway that leads me safely into town.  Of course it goes without saying how grateful I am for my wonderful family and friends!  Last but not least I am grateful for this great country we live in!
