One of my favorite Thanksgiving traditions is when we go around the table, as a family, and say what we are grateful for. It’s something that we’ve been doing for years, and no matter where all of us are in ours lives, it always puts things into perspective.

I stumbled across a Brene Brown quote a couple of years ago, and it really put into perspective how powerful the art of practicing gratitude and thanks can be:

“…practice gratitude to honor what’s ordinary about our lives, because that is what’s truly extraordinary.”

It’s so true. When I think about all that I am truly grateful for, it’s everything that happens in the ordinary parts of my life…

And with that I thank you for allowing me to have this small space and I truly hope that you have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones.
