Gratitude

With everyone locked up at home,

what a wonderful time to connect.

All around the world,

we are living the same, basic 

unifying experience.

We chat about the virus news,

trying to keep our worries at bay,

until we remind eachother,

enough.

And switch to family

   and back to virus.

to work

    and back to virus.

to dreams and projects

    and back to virus.

The virus has infected our conversations.

So today I launched my gratitude challenge:

every time the name of the virus 

worms its way into a conversation

I interrupt and ask 

"What are you grateful for?"

or I give thanks to that person for something I appreciate.

My secret plan is for gratitude

to go viral.
