March 1, 2021: In Person

Some days it’s hard to spot joy in the midst of all that’s swirling; some days the joy reaches out boldly, unmistakably, for me.

Some days I remind myself to be grateful, knowing that blessings abound whether I think to count them or not; some days gratitude gushes up suddenly and washes, like a wave, over me.

Tomorrow will bring what it brings; today I feel full of joy and gratitude.
