Remembering today that gratitude

doesn’t look a particular way.

It doesn’t have to be dressed up in turkey and stuffing. It doesn’t have to wear a smile.

Gratitude can exist even in the shards

of broken relationships, and uncomfortable conversations.

It can feel lonely even when surrounded by people.

Gratitude holds both joy and sorrow

and let’s them tip and bow with the weight of each.

Gratitude exists no matter the outfit You Choose

or the shoes You slip into at the back door.

Gratitude is always here.

It sits in a tiny space,

and it’s yours to hold like a polished stone

in the pocket of your heart.
