Covered by many artists, Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi” lyrics have been absorbed widely in our culture. It’s an anthem to holding on to what is important and being careful about clearing existing things in order to make way for “progress.” The lyrics pose that people don’t always know how they might value something until it’s gone. One way of identifying what you are grateful for is to consider how your life would be affected if you lost it. Identify two or three things that would break your heart to lose. What can you do to honor and appreciate these things?
