Gratitude is something I feel everyday. I have feelings of great gratitude- due to events or generosity of others. There are also the “small things” that make me grateful. Sunshine, kitty cuddles, a bowl of good soup, or the other things that make me happy to be alive- and grateful for all I have.

So, thus begins my yearly tradition of November “gratefuls”. I have done it for about five years now. It’s a way for me to get through the dark month of November and be reminded of all that is good in the world.

Today, I’m grateful for gratitude. Without it, how would we show or feel appreciation? Appreciation for all those things that we normally take for granted?
