From Attitude To Gratitude

Just a few days ago, the subject of my blog post was "attitude". Today we're swtiching gears and thinking about "gratitude". Last week my oldest child had an interesting homework assignment. She had to write down 9 things that she was grateful for. She wrote down twenty-eight. She finished at 28 because she ran out of paper. That kind of assignment is the type that warms my heart, and in reading her list of things that she is grateful for, I see just how many one can easily take for granted. Seen through the eyes of a child, gratitude takes on a whole new meaning.
This coming weekend marks Thanksgiving, and around the country people will be celebrating with friends and family, and also some feasting! It’s a time when we should all take a moment and think of a few things that we are each grateful for. Just a gentle reminder for ourselves….
October 12-16 also markes “Gratitude Week” in Vancouver. Gratitude Week is a vehicle for ordinary people in Vancouver to make something happen to end homelessness now. It is a way to enable individual citizens to do something tangible in the fight against homelessness.
