#91: LinkedIn Connections
Lately, I’ve been considering applying for a meditation teaching certificate program at Brown University. After thorough research, I felt it wise to connect with alumni from the program via LinkedIn. I reached out to several, and I’m thankful that the majority responded promptly. The conversations have been invaluable, leaving me feeling empowered and inspired about pursuing this path.
#92: Spring Flowers
Every time I step out for a walk, I’m greeted by the vibrant colors of spring. It’s my favorite season of the year—wait, is it fall? Or maybe summer? Yet, the beauty of snow holds its own charm. Regardless, I’m deeply grateful for the abundance of beautiful spring flowers in every corner..
#93: Dove Songs
Spring seems to awaken all kinds of birds, making it a bustling time for bird admirers like myself. Among the variety of songs, I find myself particularly grateful for the gentle cooing of doves that occasionally wake me from sleep in the mornings.
#94: Shoes
While disposing of household trash near the dumpster this week, I accidentally stepped on sharp broken glass. Though my shoes got a minor cut, it made me pause and reflect—what if I hadn’t been wearing them? Growing up in Kitale, Kenya, I’ve encountered sharp thorns and rocks, making me especially thankful for the protection good quality shoes afford.
#95: Family of Woodpeckers
During a recent walk, I passed by a partially decayed tree and was startled by the loud cawing coming from it. Moments later, a large red-capped woodpecker emerged from a hole in the trunk, followed by another. To my delight, I could hear the faint chirping of their chicks inside. Witnessing this natural spectacle filled me with immense gratitude.
