“Spare me a week of faux soul searching,” I’d say in my cynical, New-York-circa-early-2000s fashion, whenever my middle-aged Bikram teacher requested a moment of silence for gratitude. I mean, my twenty-something, cough, thirty-something self always considered practicing gratitude cliche. Something my friends who visited Ashrams did. It took a while, involving legit, hostel-living, south-of-the-equator soul-searching.
Another lockdown, this time in winter, and Christmas in a pandemic. If you are feeling the heaviness of this past year, you are not alone. Research shows that more women experience anxiety than men, especially since the start of the pandemic. Results from analyses of Google trends reveal that searches involving words such as “loneliness,” “worry,” and “sadness,” are increasing in many countries.
This month’s Über Moms’ theme is practicing gratitude. As I sit down to write my already late article, I realise how much gratitude I feel towards the Book Club and books in general. Gratitude for the access to books I have, for having the time or being able to make the time to read and enjoy so many, and for being able to share this pleasure with others.
