When Gratitude Feels Hard

This morning meditation will guide you when gratitude feels hard and joy seems out of reach. Close your eyes, dear one, and rest. Lay down your worry, your heavy chest. There’s no need to pretend you’re okay; not every heart can give thanks today. Sometimes the joy is just out of reach, and silence is all the soul wants to teach. You ache for a reason to feel at peace, longing for sorrow or stress to cease.
