Gratitude is an exuberant feeling that rises the tide of all other emotions. When you recognize that whatever you’re experiencing or possessing is never automatic, it shifts how you feel about achieving it.

I often write about how social we are, that we require a tribe to ground us. There’s also the first time you experience a milestone, a feeling that only occurs once.

Establishing one’s home in the modern world is a milestone too few get to achieve. Home is your tribe, but it’s also where you feel safe, the land that is yours.
