This can be more constructive than doom-scrolling

Danielle, with 2024 in full swing, I know that everyone has elections on the top of their minds. But there's something else I'm paying attention to this year, and that's gratitude.

My New Year's Resolution this year is to write down three things I'm grateful for every night before I go to bed. And I've stuck to it so far!

There are big things, like the organizers fighting to secure abortion rights at the state level, all the members of our grassroots movement strengthening our team, and all the Americans saving hundreds of dollars a month on insulin because of action Democrats took. And there are things like going on a long walk with Bruce and Bailey, enjoying a well-brewed cup of tea.

There's a lot to be grateful for, and keeping it all in mind gives us strength for the fights ahead. (It's a lot more constructive than doom-scrolling.)

I'm wondering, Danielle — what are you grateful for today? Please feel free to share with me here, and I'd love the chance to share back later on what all this community is grateful for.

I'm grateful for you, Danielle. Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
