At my work we have instituted Thankful Thursday’s for the month of November, leading up to Thanksgiving. It’s been a good continual reminder to be grateful, something I have not done well lately. With the election and the pandemic portending future gloom, it’s been hard to stay in the present moment. I am remembering, this month, that gratitude leads to abundance. When you are grateful for what you have, you physiologically feel better. You see life in terms of possibilities, in all its majesty. We may have serious problems to solve, but there is also reason to rejoice. We are alive, together here, on this beautiful planet in this wonderful quadrant of what we call the universe. We have breath, we can move, we are free. Choosing to reflect on these basic yet surreal realities makes life that much more enjoyable. Gratitude opens the door to a world of abundance.
