Common Ground

Living gratefully today, I appreciate that humans have far more in common with one another than we have differences. The differences may make news headlines, but the common ground makes connections.

A special thank you to those who joined for the first Rivertown Gratefulness Gathering last evening.
It was so nice to be part of this experience and to join old friends and new ones in this endeavor to delve deeper into living gratefully and what it means.

Talk about common ground. It is human nature to take much for granted. It is human nature to second guess ourselves at times. These can keep people complacent and disconnected.  Those of us who joined one another last night had courage and conviction to get out of our warm homes and spend some time together.

We shared common ground and mutual respect. I know I grew from the discussion. I hope they did too.  Living gratefully is a great way to build connections within ourselves and with nature and a Great Spirit, and also with other people.

Connections unify, close gaps, strengthen the human spirit. For all of these and more, I am deeply grateful today.
