Yes, we are here in the U.S. on stolen land made possible by genocide and there are many parts of the world where human loss is incomprehensible: I NEVER lose sight of that and I am always striving for peace and accountability. However, I do practice gratitude in my own daily life to help keep me strong for the struggle (and to keep my own self accountable).
Being grateful living under diseased capitalism, imperialism, and fascism is a complicated matter.
We were mostly raised on the puritan bullshit that poverty is the fault of the poor and if you’re not wealthy, you just weren’t “blessed” by God. Some pre-deterministic b.s., for sure. However, I truly believe we can be grateful in our personal life and STILL strive for basic human rights and struggle for more equitable resource distribution and better lives for 100% of us, not just the .01 of the 1%.
The cyst-em that controls our lives is brilliantly engineered to keep the poor, poor, and protects the power and the wealth of the few, but, having said all that, I am very grateful for many things that money cannot buy.
Cindy’s Top 8 Non-religious Blessings:
My family, especially grandchildren
My health (despite the deathcare industrial complex)
My friends who are still my friends after “Covid”
Enemies who made me stronger this year
Courageous voices for peace and accountability
MY READERS, PARTICULARLY MY PAID SUBSCRIBERS WHO HELP ME EAT
Mushroom Coffee, duh
Mother Nature and her gifts
This is my “short” list and I have discovered that concentrating on what is good about my life every day, helps me deal with the other garbage.
Whatever you do on this day, have a good one!

I've loved you since you first started camping out at GWB's fake "ranch". You're a hero to us all.
I'm grateful for just being able to live and breathe and think and talk about all the absurdity that is happening around us. It gives me hope that someday sanity and goodness will win out over the powerful forces of evil. I'm really grateful for my husband, who has the same values and tolerates my ranting at least once a day lately!
And I so appreciate you Cindy. You're one of the few "heroes" that didn't sell out and is still a TRUTHTELLER regardless of what is "politically correct" at the time. I'm so glad I found you again! 🥰
