A Little Inspiration A good friend of mine started this texting trend he calls G-pics (which stands for grateful pics) where we send pics to each other about things we are grateful. This is perfect timing because it seems like now more than ever that the world is more negative! Here is my text to him this past week: “Today I am grateful for my green tea and electric mug warmer! I am also eternally grateful for the online instructions that taught me to steep my green tea for only 1-1.5 min to avoid bitterness! :) 🙏”  What are you grateful for and to whom can you send the pic to keep this awesome thing going?
