Gratitude - from Victoria Kindle Hodson and Sura Hart

"A recent survey from the American Psychological Association says that COVID-19 is taking a much bigger emotional toll on adults who are caring for children than on adults without children. While 70 percent of all working adults say their jobs are causing significant stress right now, 71 percent of those playing parental roles are also stressed over managing their children’s at-home learning.

"Even when we’re doing our best to prevent stress—getting rest, exercise, healthy food, outdoor time, meditation—we will feel stretched and stressed at times, and some days are just hard no matter what we do. On those days especially, we need a quick re-set to relax our minds and re-connect our hearts with beauty and goodness."

"Gratitude is the quickest way we know to shift energy and get from disgruntled to calm-alert."
