Obviously didn't get too far with the 'Thanksgiving' theme of the month. I felt - as with some trends - that it was a bit forced. But I do think the intentionality of developing a life of gratitude is also incredibly important. I am thankful for the example of so many FB friends who consistently shared what they are thankful for - and it helped me to pause and reflect for myself...
And that is something I look forward to with Christmas. I love the intentionality of using the brief time before Christmas day to generate joy and love with every aspect of life - food, decorations, activities, even mail! It can be overwhelming - because we try to cram so many traditions into a short period of time. And each activity is so precious and anticipated all year. But I hope to live each day with the spirit of anticipation and gratitude, realizing not everything will happen, but what will happen is more important than what doesn't.
I look forward to taking time to enjoy each and every day of the month of December. And I'm thankful for the 6 days left in November to plan for it!!
