My source of joy during this entire mess of a year has been the Downtown Greens community garden. No matter when I stop by I am encouraged by the nature of this place.

This Thanksgiving, I’m not counting my blessings or listing things I am grateful for. Instead, I am seeking meaning in all that has happened and embracing my whole messy self. I’m not fine and everything is not always okay, but I see life as worthwhile and often glorious.
