“I remain skeptical of the commodification of gratitude, suspicious of the conclusion, so easily drawn, that if you do not feel grateful it is because you are not trying hard enough,” writes Moya Sarner in The Guardian. Yet, she also acknowledges times when gratitude helped her experience a “new layer of life.” We’ll talk about that, and also non-skeptically give lots of thanks for the harvest and the world and each other.
