Gratitude

This morning, as I was cutting fresh strawberries and assembling my breakfast for the morning, I was filled with gratitude.

It is a seemingly simple thing to be grateful for but I was reminded of just how many people in this world struggle. Struggle for basic human rights. Struggle for food and clean water. Struggle for housing and employment. Struggle for reproductive rights.

So, as I ate my organic strawberries, raspberries and yogurt, I decided I had to write to say how I recognize how fortunate myself and my family are. Although I’m sure I do take it for granted more than I should living in this Silicon Valley bubble.
