(For Tuesday July 22) In the past few years I have really come to be grateful for the local businesses in my town.  And I do my best to try and shop with them rather than the "big box" stores.  I'm grateful for their entrepreneurial spirit, for their desire to provide quality product at a reasonable cost and in many cases with a social justice mindset.  Not too mention supporting my local businesses keep my local economy healthy.  I'm grateful I have the option of local businesses to shop at. What about you?  Do you support your local businesses?
