While searching for a different perspective on the gratitude-generosity connection, I recently discovered A Network for Grateful Living founded by Brother David Steindl-Rast and led by Kristi Nelson. (See https://grateful.org/about/our-team/).
There are many wonderful resources at their website (https://grateful.org/welcome/) including a brief (< 5 minutes) video about Claire and her life journey with deafness and a perspective of the gift of a disability (grateful.org/grateful-voices/claire/).
So much to learn, so much to appreciate, I highly recommend this free resource.
Today’s senryu: Claire’s Story
find luck when you roam
shut up and just keep going
expect something good
