Ross gayFull disclosure, I had a class with Ross Gay at Sarah Lawrence so I'm taking this opportunity to enthusiastically name drop. I haven't read this book, "Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude,"  yet but I'm feeling very positive about what I've read about it so far, it's tone and the kind of mindful direction it seems to take. It's been shortlisted for National Book Award (Los Angeles Times).
