Grateful for friends

Still locked down. I'm doing a gratitude practice with a friend, and while she's faithful about e-mailing me every day, I'm struggling to keep up. I'm grateful for many things, but very few of them are new. That kind of goes with the lockdown territory, I guess: not many new experiences are in the offing these days, and I hate to keep repeating the same (by now, boring to read) things--home, friends, Canada, summer, etc.

Also, many of the specific things I'm grateful for probably wouldn't resonate with my friend--What We Do in the Shadows, for example, and online discussions about Picard, just to name two. You get the idea.

None the less, I'll keep trying to find new things to appreciate. But I sure will be happy when normal life opens up again and I can be released from routine.
