Over the years, I have written a few blog posts about gratitude and practicing gratitude. I have also written a few about what I am thankful for in my life. As I grow older, I become more and more aware of how beautiful life is and how every sunrise gives us a chance to rewrite…

Posted on August 15, 2022August 15, 2022 by sonalion
