I watched the market vendors today, working so hard to make sure everyone else has what they need for their celebrations at home. It reminded me to be grateful for the people who keep our society running, often behind the scenes and without much recognition or thanks. Dhanteras is a day to honor all forms of labor and to pray for the prosperity of everyone who works with their hands and their hearts. I hope you find a way to express your gratitude to someone who makes your life easier every single day of the year.
