Top 10 List - why it's not the end of the world to work on July 4th

This is my top 10 list, in no particular order.
  1. knowing Matthew has a day completely to himself (and Max) to enjoy and sleep in a bit
  2. somehow getting up earlier than any other work day and getting to work before 7 am
  3. knowing I will not get many calls at work today and will have fewer interruptions
  4. seeing 4 hot air balloons on the way to work with the mountains as their backdrop
  5. seeing the antelope (grown ups and a baby) running in the field I drove by
  6. ZERO traffic
  7. enjoying a beautiful morning after rain last night
  8. absolutely NO line at Starbucks this morning
  9. hearing God Bless the USA on the radio on the way to work
  10. recognizing that MANY Americans work 365 days per year all over the world to ensure protection, safety, and freedom for me and all of America

Happy 4th of July!!

That's a fantastic attitude to have! :) And I love your list and the fact that you're able to be thankful and not have a complaining spirit. Love you and Matthew and wish y'all were here to party with us.
