I can’t believe I keep this daily journal going for so long. I have made 100+ posts since the end of June and I feel I am just getting started. I thoroughly enjoy making these posts. It’s a great way for me to follow important news stories closely and to think out loud. Although the world is quite messed up, I am getting a lot of satisfaction from keeping this blog. The activity of putting the words down nurtures my soul. I am thankful for your support and encouragement and I hope to spend more effort to make this blog more interesting and informative. Happy Thanksgiving!
