Gratitude gives me vision to see beyond the here and now—to see wonder in even the mundane, repetitious, and awaiting-completion. It helps me appreciate my various roles, lean into the ways they each grow me. It helps me to better listen and connect and engage—to live this one life of mine to the full.

Gratitude helps me welcome interruptions as gifts, see the good first in the people I love, and be present in today’s moments.

I have but this one life to live. And so do you.
