I was just sharing with someone here on Medium how I believe gratitude is one of the higher states of consciousness. And when we can express gratitude for something, even if it's breathing, it can change how we see our world--even when things seem to be at their worst.
I also want to say, you've been through so much in life and it's wonderful to know that instead of being bitter, you're sharing your stories with compassion and grace. Thank you, Liberty.
