World Gratitude Day!

Did you know that today has been designated World Gratitude Day?

Yes, I know.  There are lots and lots of *new* holidays cropping up.  It's crazy!  Yesterday I realized we missed Talk Like a Pirate Day on Friday.  Oh well - there's always next year, right?  :-)

World Gratitude Day was created by the United Nations, and it is "to express apprecation for the great things that individuals and groups do".

I am grateful for my little imps, of course.  Jackson the flirt.  He was laughing and laughing and running in circles with a little girl he met in the hallway at church today.  Genevieve the ring leader.  Teaching her friends Patrick & Cassidy new ways to cause mayhem this weekend.  Bentley the music lover.  I've listend to "The Wheels on the Bus" probably 50 times (maybe more?!) in the last 24 hours.  :-)

More from the web: "The group (United Nations) also suggests that you find something to be grateful for, and remember the feeling.  Seek to give gratitude and apprecation to people in your life who have done good deeds."

And a quote:

"There are none so impoverished as those who do not acknowledge the abundance in their lives." - Richard Evans from The Sunflower

Go forth with gratitude!
