Gratltude Month?

Labeling November Gratitude month makes some sense because in it resides Thanksgiving the most grateful of all holidays. It is the beginning of the whole holiday season, where we need to remember the things that we are truly grateful for. The main reason we need to remember is because we get so caught up in the dynamics - what we want, what we have to give,  the preparing of the holiday meals, spending time with family, traveling, etc. When I am doing what I am supposed to do I don't need a gratitude month, for every day shall be full of appreciation and thanks. All I need to do is look at two things: the journey I have taken and where I currently stand. Even on the crappy days where I haven't gotten enough sleep, I have to bike to work in the rain, I screw up a couple orders, Minda tells me I forgot to do a couple things, I cut my finger, and Freyja is particularly fussy, I still need to remember that it's not that bad. Life is ok today. And if it really sucks today, tomorrow it can get a little better. My friend likes to say gratitude is an action - it's not according to Merriam-Webster, but I get the point, when you have gratitude what are you doing to show it. One synonym for gratitude is indebtedness, allow me to continue to owe so I may continue to seek ways to give back.
