So yeah, that whole gratitude thing? Giving thanks for the small things?

Mighty hard in such a big year.

But maybe this is what we all kinda need right now?

Thanksgiving is past, but thanks-giving can always be present.

Fact is, thanks-giving is always the best present.

Yes, I know that it’s hard. Harder this year than maybe any other year.

And yet…

…there are still suns rising and setting to watch in wonder

…there is still kindness in the world if you care to notice

…kittens are still delightful

…love is still very much alive in the world, as is compassion and mercy and caring

…dark roast coffee still exists

…as does chocolate

…and pizza

Small things. Big things.

Anything that lifts the corners of the mouth just a bit is grace, no?
