Honestly, I can't remember the last time I heard someone so happy to be working. César voice-messaged on lunch break to process his first-day shock - a good delivery driving job, with benefits, after begging for almost two years on the street and almost losing his son.
We are *so* fortunate.
(There's another nuisance hiccough with insurance for oxygen, but I'll let that stress me out later. César & his boys are safe, & the boys are so proud their dad is working. That's enough for now. 👌 )
@Rupiefied2020 Agreed. Colombia, Canada, the US, and Britain all have their struggles, but here people lean into gratitude *so* much more consistently.
In Canada, the culture around me was almost always one of performative/competitive complaint, which didn't change suffering but definitely curtailed opportunities to lean into thankfulness as well.
In that spirit, then... thanks for sharing in my joy at this news, Rupiefied 2020! 🤗 May there be other moments of such over the rest of your day.
@MLClark that's awesome to hear I love when people share awesome stories like this.
