Daily Reminder # 495

Tired tonight, so I'm just going to do gratitude and a couple of Christopher Columbus songs. I know Columbus has rather deservedly fallen from grace these days, but I like this first song, which is almost as old as I am (dates back to 1950).





Some things I'm grateful for today: (Items in red are pre-gratitude, an effort to persuade the Universe that it really wants me to have a truckload of money and a lot of other good and handy thing that I really, really wish to have... and to persuade the Creative Forces of the Universe that it would be really good for them to do this NOW.)

Warning. This video has annoying music, but a lot of information most of us don't know. It's pretty grim and ugly, but of all the I hate Columbus videos, it seemed to be the best.

WISHING YOU A GLORIOUS DAY! 
May we somehow be able to honor the
hero in even the most vile people among us.
Somehow. Still working on it myself, but 
it seems like a good goal.
