November 2020 - Gratitude & Savoring

Amidst the profound challenges associated with the worldwide pandemic, many of us have come to an unexpected realization --

We still have so much to be grateful for.

This isn't about rejecting the truth of current circumstances for a blind, pollyanna-like optimism. Instead, it is about acknowledging how difficult this all has been, and allowing this suffering to deepen our appreciation for the everyday pleasures that still remain.

As we embark on the quickly approaching holidays associated with giving thanks, my invitation to you is to let your sense of gratitude expand to include the unremarkable, and to savor the simple joys of our lives as they are right now.
