My dear Canadian friends have had to wait a full six weeks longer than usual to read my annual Gratitude List. Sorry, guys. I was in the desert while you were being thankful, so I’ve jumped on the American bandwagon and given thanks today instead.
For those of you who are new to this quirky tradition of mine, here’s the scoop: Every night before I go to sleep, I write down a few causes for gratitude. I try not to repeat myself (keeps the thankfulness muscles limber!) but I’m certain you’ll notice an emerging theme or two. Each Thanksgiving, I post the list for the world to ponder and puzzle over. For me, it’s a grounding practice of putting days and years in perspective. For you, it’s either funny, or inspiring, or TMI. Whatever. It’s not about you.
I suspect that no one but my mom actually reads the list from start to finish, but should you wish to try, godspeed!
