now that i don't work full time i guess you could say holidays don't matter so much. but since my schedule is so closely tied to bret's i still enjoy days off. today was one of those. i know - lots of people had it off - his was just a normal non-work day - sam's club doesn't celebrate veteran's day. neither did my school district for that matter. but anyway, today was really nice. lots of hanging out around the house wearing comfy clothes. the only thing on the schedule was ward temple night - and we're about to head out for that now. pretty nice.
one thought i had, though, while others were expressing gratitude for veterans they knew - as far as i know i am not close to any veterans really. i mean i have a few friends who served. and it's not like i necessarily need or want to be especially close to a veteran, it's just that i noticed this holiday seemed to matter a lot more to those who were closely connected to veterans. either way, i am also grateful for the service and sacrifice so many veterans have made over the years. and by the way - if you are one yourself, bret says sam's club is giving away free foldable canes to all veterans, yesterday today and tomorrow.

Sounds like you had a peaceful day. And yes, though you may not know any veterans personally, do be thankful for their bravery and service.
