Oh, y’all. The time has moved so quickly this year. It feels like we were just clinking glasses and celebrating to start of 2014, and here we are again at the end of November with the holiday season upon us once more.

What I love most about Thanksgiving is seeing the outpouring of gratitude from people. We post on social media and discuss with those around us all the gifts, the blessings we’ve been given in our lives. It makes me wonder what it would be like if everyone carried this gratitude with them on a daily basis, year round. What if we turned the spirit of thankfulness into an attitude we carried with us every day and into every situation? I’ve tried to practice intentional gratitude more this year and from experience, it has brought more joy and peace to my life than any other year prior.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends. I pray it brings you laughter and love while you and your friends and family surround the table to enjoy a full and bountiful feast together. I have so many blessings to count this year, and one of them is you.
