30 Days of Joy

Every year I use November as a reminder of all the things for which I am grateful. I love Thanksgiving. I know for some, it is simply a way station between Halloween and Christmas, but for me, it is very special. Not for the complicated history of pilgrims, but for the opportunity to slow down, take a look in the eyes of those we love, and say I am thankful for you and all you bring into this world.

It's the little things

Here at "the pebble", showing gratitude can also be about the little things - the taste of hot coffee first thing in the morning or the sound of your cats meow as she winds through your legs when you come home from work. Learning to appreciate those things will bring you so much joy.

So I am challenging you to start a gratitude journal. Whether it's a journal in a traditional sense or you just snapping a pic a day of something that makes you smile.

I would love for you to share with me, as well. Drop me a comment here or on my social media and let me know what is bringing you joy.

Here's to a joyful November.
