Day Five of Gratitude

Day Five--4th year in a row.

"While I don't talk a lot on FB about either my religion or my politics (you're welcome), I'm thankful for my freedom to practice both in the way I see fit. I flinch on almost a daily basis at the names being bandied back and forth between differing factions--I will never understand taking pleasure in being hurtful--but am glad to live where you won't get arrested for disagreeing."

I have to add to that this year, though, by saying I don't think disagreement makes it okay to lie about someone--I don't care who it is. I know that when I was a little kid, I had only a glancing acquaintance with telling the truth. I am grateful to know better now.
