So, yes, I fell off the grateful wagon. I haven't posted since last week - I've been (momentarily) derailed by some terrible news. Separately, I've learned that dreadful things have happened to two families I know and love. Things that shouldn't happen to anyone. Things that aren't supposed to happen to good people.
But bad things still happen.
I'm struggling with it.
It's been hard to be thankful for sunshine and hot lattes when you know someone you care about is struggling to just get out of bed and face the enormous burden of their day. I don't feel like I deserve to be happy or grateful.
Why them and not me?
Maybe this is just part of the GC - learning to be grateful when there's nothing (or so it seems) to be grateful for. Or, in the face of suffering, finding blessings.
Ciao for now. Let me continue to digest the week's events and I'll bounce back eventually.
