I visited one of my dearest friends at the weekend. While I was there, we had a deep conversation about some of the ways in which we had changed in the years since we first got to know each other. One of the main things we agreed on is how much more grateful we felt to be able to experience our lives. As with most longstanding friendships, we've supported each other through plenty of difficult times.
Although gratitude is something we should all get to feel automatically, sadly it doesn't always work that way. It certainly didn't for us. As a result, any small effort to increase that emotion within us should be welcomed. Wholesome memes are a good place to start, because they remind us that there is niceness in a lot of places, if we care to look for it. Some of it even rubs off on us occasionally.
