I’m having to work at being thankful, as I’m struggling with fear and anxiety. I worry about my children’s future, and the negative effects of the new dark tone that appears to be taking shape in our country. Just a few minutes ago, I read the positions that the nominee for Attorney General has taken on torture techniques, immigration reform, civil rights and climate change. Everything I read added to my feelings of loss and discouragement.
Writing about thanksgiving has helped me tremendously. My family, my friends, my faith, my books, my cds and the joy I derive from so many small things are what I’m actively thankful for.
There is something else. I’m taking a stand. I will not withhold kindness or look to my own superficial interests to the detriment of those less fortunate.
