Welcome to Gratitude Watch.- Gratitude Watch is an eye on the internet for news, articles, videos, and other items, all focusing on the subject of gratitude. For more on my intent on these postings, see About Gratitude Watch.
- So … let’s rock!
• Something Visual •
Jo Englesson, member of my “League of Gratitude,” founder of TOFA (“Token OF Appreciation”) — and Twitter user @JoEnglesson — gives us “Giving Year Day 55 – Being in Service Day 8,” which extends appreciation to Clark Country Nevada’s Fire Station 28A, to six firefighters for being the heros they truly are.
(And Jo — my wife has a thing for firefighters, too.)
