Gratitude Always
November 25th, 2015 by Morna
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the United States. Since it is a holiday, we are not sending out our regular e-zine this week.
This is one of my favorite holidays, and not just because it could be termed our National Day of Eating! I am excited to be headed to our home in Saint Michaels on Maryland’s Eastern Shore where my husband and I will celebrate with one of my sisters. It is a smaller group than usual, and we are looking forward to enjoying the outdoors and the peace and quiet our home offers. My sister and I also have plans to hit the local boutiques on Friday.
Since Thanksgiving is often a time for reflection, I did want to take this opportunity to share my gratitude. I am grateful for everyone who reads this e-zine, takes time to comment on our blog, has joined the International Association of Creative Arts Professionals, follows me and comments on Facebook and other forms of social media, has taken our classes, attended or is planning to attend our annual Creative Arts Business Summit or works with me on a private or group basis. I am truly honored that you have allowed me to contribute in some small way to your business growth. It is so rewarding for me that I can make a difference. Thank you!
If you are celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, I hope your day is filled with traditions and gratitude, as mine will be. I have had a gratitude practice for years now, writing down three to five gratitude items each day. Do you have a similar practice?
As I have done in the past, I wanted to share a couple of my favorite quotes about gratitude:
“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;
they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
Marcel Proust
“Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life
actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.”
Christiane Northrup
What are you grateful for this year? Please share it on the blog. Or, feel free to jump over to our ICAP Facebook or Google+ pages and leave a comment there.
