Happy Thanksgiving week! ๐Ÿฆƒ

As we prepare for the season, I am reflecting on gratitude and the importance of expressing it. I am also reflecting on how unexpressed gratitude feels like ingratitude.

In a world that could use a bit more kindness, our expressions of thanks can make a huge difference in our relationships. Letโ€™s dig into that…

Here’s the scoop: unexpressed gratitude feels like ingratitude

And in a world ๐ŸŒŽ that could use a bit more kindness ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ, our expressions of thanks can make a huge difference in your relationships. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Letโ€™s dig into thatโ€ฆ

Matching Magnitude with Gratitude ๐Ÿค—

Ever had a moment when someone’s kindness overwhelmed you, and you felt that surge of gratitude? ๐Ÿค” It’s a beautiful feeling. ๐Ÿฅฐ But sometimes, life gets busy, and we forget to express our gratitude as fully as we felt grateful. 

This Thanksgiving, let’s make a pact. ๐Ÿค

When you feel that welling up of thanks, let it overflow into your words and actions. ๐Ÿค— Whether it’s a simple “thank you” or a thoughtful gesture, let your gratitude match the magnitude of whatever it is youโ€™re thankful for. In other words, be sincere and vulnerable in your expression of thanks. 

A Word of Caution โš ๏ธ

Now, about that attitude. 

Thanksgiving is a perfect time to reflect on the things we’re thankful for. Maybe youโ€™ve heard the saying, “Don’t let your attitude ruin your gratitude,” and it couldn’t be more true. A bad attitude has this sneaky way of overshadowing the good things in life. So, let’s choose gratitude over grumbling, especially this week! ๐Ÿ˜‡

Even on the tough days, there’s always something to be thankful for. ๐Ÿ™ It might be a lesson learned, a small victory, or the support of those around you. 

Acknowledge it. Embrace it. Express it. ๐ŸŒŸ

Your Thanksgiving Challenge ๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿ’ช

Here’s your challenge for the week โ€“ take a moment to reflect on the things you’re grateful for and then, ask yourself if your expression of gratitude matches the magnitude of those blessings. ๐Ÿค—

If not, turn ๐Ÿ†™ the dial and let those around you know just how much you appreciate them. ๐Ÿ˜€

Wishing you a Thanksgiving week full of faith, hope and love! โœจ
