These six-word wrap-ups of the year are excerpted from a recent article in The New York Times on readers’ reasons for gratitude:
The crinkling eye above a mask
Mom, 87, rocking pretty, pandemic ponytail
This stinking year is nearly over
Sunny mornings, a window facing east
Toscanini’s recording of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony
Throwing the football with my sons
So grateful to live in Canada
I am thankful to be thankful
Never been social; now I’m good
I am bored, but not dead
Ambulance took him. He came home
Hearing granny laugh on the phone
It’s just a cold, not Covid
Our kids, after my wife died
Wasn’t too late to say sorry
Faith, family, friends, dedicated medical professionals
