In Preparation for Gratitude

In general, I feel like I am a person who feels thankful for things.  I am not always positive, optimistic and happy but in general I do feel like I have some predisposition towards gratitude. 

I have heard that it is a good practice to periodically pray JUST in gratitude instead of always asking--for me, that is my default prayer.  I remember to pray when I am thankful more than when I need things (this is related to an area I do struggle with, humility).

I think one explanation for my particular penchant towards the proverbial thank you is that I have been surrounded my entire life by amazing people.  I know that all my personal strengths, gifts, and confidence come from a charmed life.

This year I can only say, if you are reading this blog, I am thankful for you.  I hope that you have a phenomenal Thanksgiving and please, for the love of all that is holy, do not eat canned cranberry sauce.
