Why I’m still thankful when times are tough | Commentary
1:30 AM on Nov 21, 2022 CSTShopping for groceries has become uncomfortably expensive. I didn’t anticipate how high energy costs would be this year. The cost of needs is pushing wants off the list altogether.I’m thankful for friends who check in, friends who understand when you’re silent, friends who pick you up for an impromptu coffee date. This year I’m also thankful for new friendships, including with my colleague Fizza, who has lived in the United States for only a few months.
I am thankful for mostly normal social conditions after we were reconditioned during COVID-19. Concerts are back, and this year I was able to attend two. I had almost forgotten the joy of belting out a favorite song along with 2,500 other fans. My middle school has been collecting nonperishable food for our local food bank and cash from students to help other students in the district who aren’t otherwise guaranteed a gift this Christmas. My friend Liz Watkins and her volunteers and donors, through the nonprofits Refresh Frisco and Refresh Little Elm, continue to provide hygiene products to kids in need.
