There’s so much talk about gratitude this time of year — lists, challenges, reminders to “focus on the positives.” And yes… gratitude is powerful. It rewires your brain, regulates your emotions, and genuinely supports mental health.

You can love your people and still have limits.
You can be thankful and still feel overwhelmed.
