Gratitude Focus: I am Grateful For Long Weekends

Reflection/Why I’m Grateful:

We were up early—out the door by 4:45 a.m.—headed to the airport for a long weekend in Chicago. The centerpiece of our trip is an art show featuring the work of African-American male artists.

There’s something powerful about centering rest, culture, and creativity—especially when it speaks so directly to identity and imagination. I’m excited for the chance to reflect, explore, and be inspired.
