Some of us have experienced losses, grief, 17 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 1: and suffering during the last year, and the holidays brings 18 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: all that to the surface. Many of us have felt 19 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: quite anxious and isolated because of the last eighteen months encounting. 20 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: Many of us are seeing family for the first time, 21 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: and when we gather around the table all our secrets 22 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: and ghosts, our ancestors, and our baggage sit down with us. 23 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: I have learned so much during these past few years 24 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: about family secrets, large and small, the way they haunt us, 25 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: the way they shape us.

My husband's serious illness several years ago has 28 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: taught me a lot about living each day fully and 29 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: finding beauty wherever we can. We can feel multiple feelings simultaneously. 30 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: A dose of gratitude can soften everything. As treakly as 31 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: that might sound, it really can.
