What We're Grateful for Today
Another Friday has come and gone and yet there is still so much to be grateful for in the world. Let's begin...

1. The organic beauty of cities:


2. The gift of giving never gets old. This bookstore is spreading the joy of reading with a simple message.

3. If dogs could speak, this one would say "I missed you... a lot." Unfortunately, a joyous embrace to welcome home his owner from the military will have to suffice.

4. Katy Perry becomes the first female and second ever recording artist (tied with Michael Jackson) to have five songs from the same album reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

5. The perseid meteor shower is as lovely to listen to as it is to look at.

Enjoy the weekend!
