When I look at the world and its hulking mountains, its sandy beaches, its flowered fields, its distant stars–I realize the world has enough stuff.

When I look at myself and my loving and supportive family, my messy but comfortable home, my refrigerator full of food, my shelf full of books– I realize I have enough stuff.

But having and needing are two very different words. Two very different attitudes.Two very different perspectives.

What the world needs right now is more people to appreciate it. What we need tight now is more people to appreciate each other.

Wherever you may roam today, I want you to know that I appreciate you reading my stories and sharing this journey with me. I appreciate you welcoming me into your life so we can laugh, cry, learn and live together.  Your presence, no matter how distant, is felt and appreciated.

Slow yourself today. Appreciate stuff today.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting Write on Fight on.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Be well,

Jay
