Happy Monday, friend. Hope your week is starting off to a wonderful start.
Since this week’s all about giving thanks and November’s Gratitude month, let’s take a moment to slow down, savor the season, and reflect on its beauty with a gratitude journaling challenge.
A Little Note to Start
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” ~ President John F. Kennedy
This quote has always been inspiring, but right now it resonates even more strongly.
Living our gratitude out loud and with intention is a hopeful reminder heading in the holiday season.
I hope this quote boosts your Thanksgiving week and sparks excitement for exploring our journaling challenge.
