From The Rock, to Dolly Parton, to the COVID-19 vaccines, we have a lot to be grateful for this year.

After such a rough year (let’s be honest it was pretty ****y), it feels good to actually look at the things we have to be grateful for.

Now that Illinois has entered Phase 5 and restrictions have been lifted, I’m feeling less “boxed in” and more optimistic about things to come this summer.

And PEOPLE magazine has just given us 100 reasons to love life, and specifically ‘100 Reasons to Love America” and it’s no surprise that Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is at the top of that list.

Dolly Parton, July 4th, COVID vaccines, the great outdoors, concerts, and Oprah.

Check out the list here.

What are some of the reasons YOU love America?
