It’s Thanksgiving day here in Canada and we’re having a turkey feast with our family. The sun is shining through an Indian Summer day and all is right with the world. Doesn’t get much better than this.
A simple entry
As we went around the dinner table sharing our thanks for the year, it reminded me just how important it is to be thankful each and every day – not just on Thanksgiving. Of course, I’ll be able to celebrate the US version of Thanksgiving in another month (pass the gravy, please!); however, I’ve started to make it a practice to start each day writing three things to be grateful for in my Gratitude Journal.
This past summer, Steve Foran gave a short presentation at the CAPS Halifax chapter meeting where he talked about the importance of giving thanks. Yes, it is a message we have heard before: Have an Attitude of Gratitude. Yet Steve did something different. He handed each of us a small 3″x5″ leather, hardcover journal. He challenged each of us to write three things we are grateful for.
I have been doing this since August, and I notice the day starts much more positive and energized.
What can you do to bring an attitude of gratitude to your team?
