Thank you for the zine. I just sat with my kids and filled them out, colored and shared them with each other. It was a fun thing for us to do together.

Going to print and give away about 100 of these on Sunday, inviting folks to fill out their own and to leave folded, blank copies for folks to find around the city. I'm speaking about guerilla art as a spiritual practice, and this is a perfect little tool for that!

This was great - I'm printing out a couple copies to give to friends and will fill ours out Thursday. I'm thankful for the joy of having a place to live and friends / family that I love. I'm especially thankful for being an artist - because that's a gift everyday - just in how one sees the world. Thanks for this lovely post.

Thanks a lot. Singing with Raffi. Such a good song for all ages.

I am thankful for you, your thoughtfulness! This is real - you've really integrated this and researched gratitude. I mean to say, there are so many "gurus" online who rehash content from other sites and try to get stuff out as quickly as possible without having done it themselves or applied it to their lives, so that they can appear on a search engine with a picture of themselves and an autobio at the bottom of the page. You're completely the opposite. You're humble - I guess gratitude does that! - and this really came from you. Its wonderful. Thank you so much!

I remember to say Thanks before I start eating dinner, it forces me to pick Something or Someone to be aware of.

Wow! I’m so ... grateful for having been directed here by your recent post about mail. (Grateful for that post, too!) So much work to do-- joyful, verb-filled work! Thank you!

Thank you, Austin, for sharing your Gratitude Zine. I finished it over Thanksgiving. What a beautiful way to reflect on the people who've taught me so much. Thank you for all you do.

To start with that i have bumped into you online, you are so inspiring. But most of all that we can endure the present reality in the comfort of our own home and make use of all its facilities.

Thank you so much for being such an amazing artist and for sharing your work with us ❤️ The newsletter of this week was really special and made me think of many “irrelevant” things that I am grateful for… such as: drinking a coffee, laughing with the ones I love and eating a red velvet cake.

My son and last born here at home with us in his senior year of high school. Soon to be off on his own at college. So happy to be present every single minute in sweet shared time that flees.
