As we approach Thanksgiving this year, some of us may take a mental review of the past 11 months and think about what makes us thankful. There are various reasons to be thankful and to express more gratitude by giving.
The following may serve as a general checklist of items for Thanksgiving gratitute:
1) Did we show appreciation to our loved ones this year? Do we thank them for being in our lives?
2) Did we express gratitude for our clients? Do we show them we truly care?
3) Did we thank the people who really helped us in our career? Do we give credit where credit is due?
4) Are we grateful for all the nice things we already have in life? How did we show it?
5) When someone helped us resolve a big problem, did we say thank you? Do we normally say thank you for anything?
6) Did we express gratitude by being generous to others? Are we being sincerely generous?
7) Did we feel grateful for simply having clean air, clean water and a healthy environment for us and our family? Do we show gratitude by being mindful of how we impact our environment?
8) Are we truly grateful toward people who help us in any way? Did we express this gratitude toward them?
9) Are we grateful toward our bodies? Did we treat our bodies well over the last year?
10) Are we really grateful for the food we eat? Did we ever save bread for birds rather than throwing it away?
Probably each of us can make up our own unique lists of gratitude. What will be on your list this year?
