"How we navigate suffering is important. We need right thinking and right seeing so that we can be mindful of all things, good and bad."

These lines are so poignant and necessary Joel. I for one is extremely against toxic positivity where we use pseudo spirituality to bypass the hardships we face. I think what you said is so important because you encouraged us to acknowledge our current circumstances and then be grateful for the beauty in it that we are missing because of our complaining inner monologue. Thank you for writing this. Deeply Grateful.

Give my love and prayers to your wife as she heals from her injury. Merry Christmas to you and family!
