Gratitude. It shouldn’t be that hard. Everything we have is a gift. Beginning with our very lives. That’s not the stuff of politics much anymore. We are not in the days of “Morning in America.” We live at a time when anger and tearing others down is the trend. But that’s not going to work when we need hope.
This might sound silly, but out walking one day during the Covid lockdowns, I encountered a new flower with the most enchanting powdery scent. It was such a simple thing but also glorious. On another evening, I heard a birds’ concert — it’s just what they do and who they are. Small, natural and yet magnificent things.
