6 words about being grateful
The New York Times recently invited readers to submit six words about something that made them grateful. (Writer/editor Larry Smith popularized this format in his series, Six-Word Memoirs.) More than 10,000 readers responded, and here’s a selection of those that the Times printed:
- The crinkling eyes above the mask.
- A furtive hug with a friend.
- The backyard haircuts are getting better.
- Miss family, but safer for them.
- Teenage son still likes to snuggle.
- Sunny mornings, a window facing east.
- Postcards crossing the country – real mail.
- Never been social, now I’m good.
- Hearing granny laugh on the phone.
- It’s just a cold, not Covid.
- Wasn’t too late to say sorry.
- Faith, family, friends, dedicated medical professionals.
- The many people who deliver food.
- Toddler sees Audrey Hepburn, says “Mama!”
- I watched her learn to read.
- Water cooler chats with six-year-old son.
- Thankful for learning, in my pajamas.
- I teach funny, resilient 8th graders.
- Democracy triumphed. Now pass the stuffing.
- Empty calendar means frequent dinners together.
- There’s really more kindness than hate.
- Fell in love six feet apart.
- Lost job. Lost boyfriend. Found happiness.
- Fell in love at age 75.
- This stinking year is nearly over.
