Joni Mitchell has written a lot of great lyrics, but one line seems especially apt this Thanksgiving. In “Big Yellow Taxi,” the singer/songwriter's jaunty 1970 tune about loss – of trees, of healthy food, of a love interest – she repeats and repeats, “Don’t it always seem to go / That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” Mitchell is challenging us to not take things for granted. There is a wildly simple way to do that. It’s called expressing gratitude. There has never been a better time to be genuinely thankful than this holiday season, one that arrives in the throes of a wrenching two-year global pandemic. In fact, we as a society are uniquely poised to feel profound gratitude because of our tough times. Tap the link in bio to read more. #gratitude #thanksgiving #jonimitchell
