Thank You Thursday Celebrated on Thankful Thursdays
When I’d heard of Thankful Thursdays I never gave much thought to why or how it came about. Until…while wandering through cyberville I learned that today is Thank You Thursday.
Inspired by motivational author and speaker Jon Gordon, Thankful Thursdays and posts expressing gratitude have spread like ripples in a pond.
Studies have shown that the attitude of being grateful is beneficial to our health and well-being. But beyond that, saying Thank you and being sincerely grateful for what you have is a better way to live than walking around like an ungrateful curmudgeon.
Saying Thank You to someone is an easy enough thing to do. In fact, it’s become almost rote in our daily lives.
Learning to be truly grateful, however, goes deeper. It can be a learning process…one where we learn to be happy for what has happened to us. The more we say Thank You and think about why we are thankful, the more we learn to recognize the people, things, and experiences that make us want to give thanks.
So, who have you said Thank you to today and what are you grateful for at this moment?
