31 Things I am Grateful for July 2024

The second half of 2024 is here and it started with a bang.

I started a new job that I really like. Lucy died. Trump was shot. Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race. We have a second chance to elect the first woman president, hopefully, we don’t fuck it up. It’s been a long 31 days.

This month I am grateful for
