I got yesterday’s date wrong on my post, and no one told me. I’m taking that as an indication of how many followers I have reading daily. I’m pretty sure even Patrick has dropped off. Haha!

But It doesn’t bother me. I said at the outset that I’m doing this because I need to. The daily practice of looking for something positive in a world of negativity is good for me. It’s grounding. And helps feed hope.

Tonight I’m thankful for good friends and honest conversations. I met a friend after work and during the course of our two-hour chat, we learned new things about each other. Real connection is what keeps us going. We all need that, and I’m grateful for these moments.
