For the month of November, I’ve made a point of recognizing and claiming something, or someone, or multiple things or persons, for which I am grateful. Embracing gratitude each day grounds me in the wonderfulness of today and expands my heart. Even if I’m experiencing other, more negative things – like stress or upset or whatever – I can still look inside and connect with thankfulness. This practice enhances my life.
I am a fortunate woman. I have much for which to give thanks, not just today, but every day. I never want to forget this or take it for granted. Claiming and publicly acknowledging my gratitude might only happen in November, but every day when I wake up I acknowledge it to myself and to my Higher Power. Again, it helps.
I’m celebrating Thanksgiving today with my work family at the home of friends. I’m putting together an antipasto platter and making some mini jalapeno souffles for appetizers. It’s expected to be quite the gathering. We’ll enjoy good food and good company. Hopefully later in the day, I’ll also enjoy a good football game. (Watching, not playing. Go, Eagles!)
For now, I want to acknowledge my gratitude for all of you reading this blog. I am thankful for your presence and energy, for the comments you make, and also for the silent support. You enhance this journey and I am thankful.
Wishing you all a spectacular day!
