Grateful for the cooler Fall weather, even with a bit of rain. My favorite season... What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Grateful for a really good night's sleep - ready to start the week! What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Grateful to find a pair of my normal running shoes for $40 off. Have dealt with plantar fasciitis for years, so these are my go-to footwear - good to find a deal! What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Grateful for the opportunity to see the Archtown Jazz Quintet last night - great performance in St. John's fellowship hall! I always describe myself as a hard rock/heavy metal guy, but I do like some live jazz! What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Grateful it's Friday: it's been a really busy week! Productive, but busy... I'm tired. What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Grateful for an interesting, relevant day of presentations at yesterday's Brain Injury Association of Missouri conference. Good to catch up with a number of colleagues, also. What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Grateful for the opportunity to attend the state Brain Injury Association conference today and tomorrow. So much to learn about serving this population's employment needs. What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Grateful to learn yesterday that my 83-year-old father participated in a No Kings event. I was so proud of him! What are you grateful for today? #gratitude #NoKings

Grateful that thousands of my fellow St. Louisans came out to peacefully assemble and protest yesterday. It was a really good time, despite the rain! What are you grateful for today? #gratitude #NoKings

Great turnout at today's No Kings protest in downtown St. Louis - thousands turned out in rainy, stormy weather. From what I'm reading, other sites in the area had similar numbers. Feeling energized! #NoKings

Grateful for the opportunity to march in a No Kings protest today - it's time for me to add my voice on the street! Looking forward to seeing the crowds (and I generally don't like crowds!). What are you grateful for today? #gratitude #NoKings

@walshfreedom.bsky.social and I definitely disagree on a number of issues, but I'm thrilled to have him in the Democratic party. We need more voices like his - to see why, check out the latest episode of his podcast. See you tomorrow at #nokings - because we love our country!

This is exactly the kind of development I loved to cover back in my green blogging days #composting #waste #toilets

@heathercoxrichardson.substack.com.web.brid.gy is always worth a read, but today's edition is especially appropriate leading into another No Kings march tomorrow (which I will attend, rain or shine). Presidents don't get to decide how money is spent...

Very grateful for the National Boss' Day love from my team yesterday - I was _very_ touched! What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Grateful for a good meeting with my boss yesterday - it's good to work at a place that you can admit you're feeling a bit overwhelmed, and discuss how to handle. What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Grateful to get back to work yesterday - lots to do, and I really enjoy my job! Always mindful that there are people looking for work (in part, because I work with those people). What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Grateful that my wife's feeling better after a bout of bronchitis... What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Grateful for good times with old friends... need a nap, though! What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Two (or more) things can be true at the same time. If the Gaza ceasefire/hostage release goes all the way through, kudos to the Trump administration for their efforts. But sending the military to American cities is still fascist authoritarianism. And we're still waiting for the Epstein files...

Grateful for the opportunity to take a day off to get ready to meet up with old friends in the Chicago area - lots to do! What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Grateful to be gearing up for another gathering of old friends from college in a few days. It's been so good to reconnect with these guys! What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

Grateful for 57 years of life - it's my birthday! What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

@davidfrenchjag.bsky.social and I would likely disagree on many points of theology (I'm a mainline Protestant, he's an Evangelical); I agree with him fully that we've seen some remarkable displays of genuine Christlike behavior in the last couple of weeks.
