Day #20 of the 60 Days of Gratitude Challenge
The prompt is impossible again...
What are you grateful for in your daily life?
I don't know. Having a good job and being financially independent? I've been in the situation in which I've had neither, so I don't take that for granted.
Mainly, I'm grateful that I can buy whatever food I want or need. And haven't had to worry about that. So many people in my country and around the world don't have that privilege.
Also I'm listening to the audio book of Maurice Bernard's memoir and am struck by how hard he struggled to find employment. So many people in this country don't have a job or enough to feed themselves or their families or pay rent.
If you have the funds, try to donate to a food bank or an organization that helps them. One of the things I liked about Australia, which doesn't quite exist here - is welfare. If you were unemployed you had easy access to health care, and food, and housing. You do to a degree here - we have affordable housing, NY State and City has healthcare for the unemployed, and
there are food banks. But they are overwhelmed.
I am grateful there are organizations that give to the hungry at least.
