Gratitude 03 - Voting

Today's gratitude is about the country that I live in. While the "Big" election isn't until a year from now (which given the campaigning that we will be experiencing the next 12 months will feel much longer than that), we had a few things to vote on here today - city council spots, school board, and several state actions which included a vote on legalized marijuana. While its not a "big" election, it is one that has significant impact regardless of how the various measures come out. My gratitude today is that I live in a country where I am able to be a part of the political process. Do we have some issues in our country with our election processes? Yes. Is it perfect? No. But I am thankful that we are still a part of the process...
