You are now in a new month, can you believe it?! We have less than two months before the year ends. Before we look too far ahead yet, please let's just stay here in this moment. Soak it up and appreciate the time we still have.
What you have learned and what you will be equipped with as each new adventures and gratitude moment becomes yours to experience!
As you took the time at the end of last month to reflect and journal, what Gratitude Moments did you uncover?

Being curious, I went to do some gratitude research. Yes, I sure did, I found some interesting thoughts to ponder on. For one, which I will share, in the dictionary, here is what it says:
1. the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
I found this very interesting. It is not only being thankful. It is also being ready to show that you are thankful through appreciation for what has happened. There is that third part that is the most interesting and really stands out to me. That is "to return the kindness."
Now isn't that interesting? To return kindness... It just doesn't stop with being thankful, it is more than that.
Just thinking about that makes me tingle with excitement. Can you imagine as we open ourselves up to the fullness of gratitude and share it by returning the kindness, what a ripple effect we will create?
Oh my goodness!!! This opens up a whole new perspective on gratitude. It is not just for ourselves. It is for sharing and creating more hearts of gratitude for and to everyone.
As you think about this, in this way, how does that make you feel?

I would love to hear from you about your view on Gratitude.
Now, as we move ahead into this new month of November, I pray that you will be seeing more gratitude moments, big and small, in every situation with a very different heart.
Let's create a Gratitude movement together!
