"A day off from my day off..."

Memorial day is another great American holiday, like Thanksgiving we are giving thanks but for a different reason, thanks to all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives so we can blog, email and go to the beach.

I have not worked a conventional job since my spinal abscess surgery that nearly took my life in 2005. Although I do not work a job, life itself is a full time job, with errands doctors appointments and maintaining a home, dog and garden.

This Memorial day I am taking a day off from my normal Monday ritual of going to Wal-mart and Costco to reflect, meditate and give thanks for being an American that is alive because of the many who sacrificed for all of us!

This is one day where Republican, Democrat and Teabaggers can all agree on one thing, charcoal grilled hot dogs are better than microwaved cooked hot dogs!
