Thankful Every Day 12-02-24
Ka-Ching! Beep, beep, beep, buzz, buzz, buzz! Yes, it’s Cyber Monday! The internet’s answer to Black Friday. Yet another reminder of marketing’s power over us all. Whether we like it or not.
Marketing: The triumph of imagination over reality. “Buy this … and be in style.” “50% off.” “Now you can ….” “For just….” “Now only….” “For today only….”
I am so thankful right now for the one thing that always keeps me grounded in reality: The overwhelming beauty of Nature. It’s hard to worry about what’s on sale when I’m outside in my garden or wandering around my neighborhood or a nearby park. Just one fifteen-minute excursion outside, and I’m refreshed. Nature’s deep massage for weary souls!
Cyber Monday’s siren song has gone away. Suddenly I’m missing out on nothing at all.
Today I am thankful for the natural world.
