Gratituesday 10.7.25 - Finding Peace

Today marks the 2 year anniversary of the attack of Israel by Hamas. I cannot believe that this war has gone on so long and that there are still hostages in Gaza. I also cannot believe the terrible destruction of a land and its people. I know there a lot of politics at play, as well as passionate beliefs. I really just want peace, but I know that’s really a pipe dream.

There are a lot of people struggling and I have to count my blessings. Welcome back to my lists of gratitudes, celebrations and desires. Care to join me? Wonderful! The comment section is always open. I’m happy to start.
