Gratitude First!
November 26th, 2014 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 Chicago where my husband and I will celebrate with three of my sisters, a brother-in-law and five nieces and nephews. I am looking forward to sharing family favorites — food and stories — at the dinner table.
Since Thanksgiving is often a time for reflection, I did want to take this opportunity to let you know how sincerely grateful I am 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.
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
