Today I am grateful for the right to vote. I hate politics like you would not believe, well, maybe you would, I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I try to stay updated and informed, but I hate every minute of it. I don't like the adds, or debates, or well, any of it really. But despite my huge dislike of all this political, I am very grateful for the ability to vote. I worry about my country. I worry about how the economy is, the laws that are made, the freedoms that I see disappearing, and the lack of patriotism. I am grateful that I have a voice to express my worry, an opportunity to change it. Sitting around complaining won't make the changes happen that I want to see, but voting will, being involved will. I will not stand idly by and watch the sate of my country deteriorate, I will use my voice.
I am also extremely grateful that today marks the end of the avalanche of politics we have seen over the last 6+ months. I have become thoroughly sick of politics by now and I am so glad it's going to be over soon. This seems like a lot of complaining for a gratitude post, but I just voted, that means I get to complain, right? :)
