Gratitude

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." John F. Kennedy

This is the month that some countries celebrate the holiday, Thanksgiving, and it seems like a good time for all of us to remember to be grateful.  A friend recently wrote that she was feeling some negative feelings about driving early in a large city when she looked around her at examples of people who were homeless, and this shifted her attitude to being grateful for all she had.  Any one of can look around and be grateful for what we have.  Even in the role of caregiver for someone with dementia, we can see people who have it worse; far worse, actually.  So, today what is one thing for which you can be grateful?  For the month of November let us each day think of a new thing about which to be grateful.  Today my one thing for which I am grateful is that I am going for a walk with my daughter.
