Softening. . .
Gratitude is a softening practice, not a forced optimism. Instead of ignoring hardship, it highlights the invisible support holding our lives together.
In every holiday event, every meal, every connection, there are countless contributions from others—farmers, workers, strangers, friends, loved ones. Recognizing them deepens our sense of connection and humility.
Practice: List three unseen people whose efforts supported your life this week.
Peace and Love, Jim
