What are you grateful for about our planet? Share what you created or your general thoughts of love and gratitude with everyone else!

Erin Rice 4/22/2020 6:59 PM

I feel like we all at some point take our Earth for granted, but I am truly truly thankful to wake up and see another day. Our Earth is really so amazing and beautiful and a lot of us haven't really opened our eyes to look and explore it. I am honestly grateful for everything on this planet, I feel like we need to treat her a lot better than we do though!
