i'm grateful, so i'd love to meet you, Friend
We all talk about being “grateful,” but for a long time my gratitude was mostly in my head.
The last couple of years have been by far my best financially, mentally, physically and energetically.
So, I looked inwards and practiced gratitude.
I’d say thank you in my thoughts, I’d tell myself I was blessed… but I didn’t feel that deep, body-level gratitude that makes your chest ache and your eyes sting.
That shifted when I started a tiny experiment every time I'd sit down to eat something.
Before I take the first bite, I pause and look at what’s in front of me. Then I ask:
“What had to happen for this to be here?”
Suddenly I’m seeing farmers in the dark, workers in warehouses, drivers on the road, engineers designing systems, teachers who shaped those people, nurses and doctors who kept them healthy, parents who raised them. An entire web of humans whose effort quietly supports my life.
When you trace that chain, something inside you softens. You stop feeling isolated and start feeling carried. Challenges feel lighter. Taking risks feels less scary. It’s harder to believe you’re truly “on your own.”
Try it with your next meal. Or your morning coffee. Or today's cereal as you read this email. Do it daily for a week and notice what changes.
I note that even this email exists thanks to 100s of people working behind the scenes to keep Kit, this email platform running.
Your biggest fan,
