Let me open by saying this is not a letter of attack, nor is it a letter of unconditional praise.  It is, in fact, a request, a request for leadership which I believe you have within your power to do for this country, leadership that is sorely needed in these troubled times.

Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for me to put Gratitude Watch to bed.
Yeah, I&#8217;m done.
I&#8217;ve been doing Gratitude Watch for over six months, and in a lot of ways it&#8217;s been a labor of love. Gratitude is a fine attribute, something everyone should cultivate if they aren&#8217;t already, and, simply, an essentially ingredient [...]]]></description>

Though it may seem fairly straight-forward, installments of Gratitude Watch actually take several hours to put together, and I&#8217;m facing some very pressing deadlines.
Hopefully next week I&#8217;ll be able to get back on schedule.
All the best,
