I'm grateful for...

...small towns that hold flag-decorating contests for Flag Day. I didn't remember that there actually is such a thing as Flag Day.
...visits to the small post office in this small town. I recently came back from a trip, and I went to the post office to pick up my mail. After saying 'hello,' the postal worker said, "So, you are here to pick up your mail, right?" Yep, the postal workers know me. I'm a step away from being a local.
...sisters who call me, tipsy, to ask for drink recipes.
...poetry.
