I’ve been practicing gratitude for a long time and strongly believe in acknowledging how lucky we are to have everything that we do. But, it has occured to me during this wild time of COVID-19 (a time that has brought huge loss of lives, businesses, freedom, special celebrations, and certainty), in some situations it just doesn’t feel right to encourage someone to express gratitude. Sometimes it even feels downright offensive, despite our hope of brightening their mood.
