Spoiler Alert: Practicing Gratitude Did Not Come Easy to Me

I love that Thanksgiving in the United States invites us to intentionally take some time to think about what we’re thankful for. Sometimes, with the holiday approaching, I like to take the time to think back over the whole year and think about what I’m truly grateful for since last Thanksgiving. Other times, I’m so focused on the present, that I can’t think much beyond my current circumstances and what I'm thankful for today. Taking the time to reflect on what we’re grateful for at Thanksgiving time reminds me how valuable it is to reflect on what I’m grateful for on a regular basis, not just one day a year.
