Love this list! Practicing gratitude seems like a difficult thing to do when the world is how it is, but it really does make a difference.

I love your lists! There IS such much beauty and loveliness in the world and even though I wish it would cancel out all the evil and ugliness it is so important to name it to remind ourselves it truly is there. Thank you for doing these lists for all of us.

Your lists bring such joy! I find things in every list that resonate for me, and they often evoke wonderful memories. But it’s the community aspect that really elevates them. I’ve discovered other great folks on Twitter through the replies to your lists.

Beautiful, just as your lists are. Thanks for taking time to reflect and share your thoughts about something hard to capture - the grace and conversations and community your lists created space for. I look forward to them whenever I'm on Twitter. They're a delight & solace, part of our community's bulwark against the nastiness we fight every day.

This is such a sweet response, thank you!!! I'm just so touched that people are constantly open and joyful on a platform that often enables cruelty, and that people take time to post thoughtful responses (like this one!) just to be kind.

Thank you so, so much for saying this!!!! (Sorry you hate snow! Maybe a different nice thing is that sunny moment in the springtime when you know the warmth has properly arrived?) <3

Fortunately, I live in the Pacific Northwest where snow is not inevitable. :) That sunny springtime moment is definitely something to be cherished, though.
