Do start a gratitude journal. It's important to rmember, especially in our darkest days, that there is some good in the world. Reach deep; don't think big; even the smallest of things that bring us joy count.

So, name one thing for which you are grateful....
And then, add on to it each day.
Soon, you'll have a book to refer to when you're down in the dumps,
and that book can lift you up again!

Shalom!
Well worth repeating.

Thanks Teach, once again you put my thoughts into better words than I could have said.
