Day 9 of #Gratitude30 invites us to rejoice in friendship. I have always known of the importance of community and the space that my classes and events provide for that. Over the past months I have become more aware and appreciative of the friendships that have formed or strengthened through people coming together to practise.

Through our friendships we can learn other perspectives, find support or encouragement or comfort, and become aware of the similarity of our experiences.

Today, let us give thanks to all those we call friends and let us be open to new friendships that may arise.
