I half-jokingly texted a friend, “I’m scraping up gratitude for the even keel of my life.”

This is true, I’m grateful things seem to be plugging along okay in my personal arena.

But…rather ungraciously, I’d prefer to be grateful for bigger stuff. For all mandates and restrictions having been lifted. For enough of the truth (as many see it) to have been disclosed so that we’re no longer looking over our shoulders for the next assault on our persons and liberties. That, I’d be heart-bottom thankful for.

I’d love to be expressing gratitude for an open-ended guided tour of foreign locales via luxury crafts, staying at first-class accommodations. The crème de la crème of bed and breakfasts. A converted castle or two, a fascinating historical edifice that’s been fitted up for the high-end tourist trade. Best of all… extravagant self-care treatments like massage. Uninterrupted quiet time in a restful, beautiful place. Oh, I could weep with longing...+
