Today was a splendid day. My father, a Baptist Minister, always held an Easter Sunrise Service and this sunrise reminded me of those mornings with my dad. On this blessed day, Joy was in the air. Many friends and family sent beautiful text messages, colorful images, and kind wishes to each other.

People seemed extra friendly to one another in restaurants, when shopping, at dog parks, when driving, in airports, in coffee houses, bagel shops, and even during conversations with strangers. All in all it was just a glorious day for which I am deeply grateful, and for which I feel thanks to see hope coming alive as we put the pandemic behind us. We are not out of the woods yet, but the spirit of positivity in the air is notable and uplifting, a soulful feeling for which I feel deep gratitude.

Today “gratitude” is my attitude. How ’bout you?

This is #gratitudelite.
