This is the end of My Gratitude Project for 2025, but of course, there is no end to gratitude and empathy. These are enduring goals, skills—and universal human needs.
So this year, consider empathy and gratitude as gifts you can bestow. In this giving season, they can be the most treasured of all. The result is often bonding, community, even love—another universal human need.
And in the end, we can all be grateful for the magic of empathy and of gratitude itself.
This post is part of my Gratitude Project 2025: The Magic of Empathy — a 30-day exploration of empathy and gratitude. Visit the hub to follow along or catch up on past reflections.
