A 15 minute look into other's lives during this time and what we can learn

2020-11-22

In memory of Tom

It's Thanksgiving week. There is lot there is to be cranky about right now and in Anna's case this has been a particularly hard few months. But she reminds us that whether it's Covid grief, or loss of Thanksgiving tradition or the death of a spouse, to be respectful of each other's pain, no matter what it looks like. In her graceful way, Anna talks about building a muscle of gratefulness to provide you with a banked counter balance for those hard times so that when we do have "those days" we can dig into those grateful banked moments.
