✨ Let's go on a 7-Day Gratitude Journey! ✨

As Thanksgiving approaches, let’s take a moment each day to reflect on life’s blessings—big and small. Together, we’ll dive into thought-provoking questions, share heartfelt moments, and enjoy tips, recipes, and crafts that make this season special.

Let’s prepare our hearts for a holiday filled with thankfulness, connection, and joy. Whether you’re celebrating with loved ones or savoring a quiet day, this journey is for YOU.

We will fill the week with gratitude, one meaningful moment at a time.

❤️ 

Our 7-Day Gratitude Walk Starts Today

Day 1: Gratitude for the Present

PART ONE of TWO

Question/Statement: What in your life right now fills your heart with gratitude?

Tip: When reflecting on this question, remember that there’s no “wrong” answer. Gratitude is deeply personal and can be found in unexpected places.

It’s okay if gratitude doesn’t come easily right now. The fact that you’re seeking it is already a positive step. Gratitude grows with practice and patience.

Here are some ideas to get you going:

1. Start Small

Think of simple things: the warmth of your morning coffee, a kind word someone said, or the comfort of your favorite blanket. Gratitude doesn’t always have to be tied to grand gestures—it’s often found in the little things.

2. Focus on the Present Moment

Pause and take a deep breath. Notice your surroundings—what stands out? It could be the sound of laughter, the feeling of appreciating your job, the quiet, or even the crisp air of the season.

3. Revisit Your Daily Routine

Consider your routines or habits that bring stability to your life: a good meal, your favorite book, exercise, or even your commute that gives you time to think.

4. Think About People

Who has recently shown you kindness? A friend, family member, coworker, or even a stranger? Gratitude for relationships is one of the most meaningful ways to reflect.

5. Reflect on Your Passions

What hobbies, interests, or projects bring you joy and fulfillment? A creative outlet, a job you love, or a cause you’re passionate about might be sources of gratitude.

6. Go Outside

Spending time in nature can inspire gratitude for beauty, peace, and the world around you. Look at the sky, the trees, or the sound of birds—small wonders are all around.

PART TWO OF TWO

Add-Ons: Make these adorable DIY Thankful Place Cards for your Thanksgiving table.

This is sort of a project, but if you get a helper it goes pretty quickly. They are dual purpose because they are completely edible! I wanted you to have time to get the supplies and make them so this...is part of DAY1, but take all the time you need to complete them.

This is a picture of the ones I made a few years ago. They were from a FOOD LION advertisement and they were easier than I thought they'd be. My family loved them.

SHOPPING LIST::

Nutter Butter Cookies (this will be the body of your turkey)

Fudge Stripe Cookies (to make his pretty tail!)

Small Pretzel Knots or Choc Covered Flipz (his feet!)

Candy Corn (for the beak)

Gummy Worms (for the gobbler!)

Almond Slivers (for his spiky hair)

Small Choc Chips (for the eyes)

and white icing to hold it all together.

I found the tube frosting easiest to assemble, but you can use canned frosting and a butter knife to get the same results.

Look at the picture and get creative!

Add-Ons: Or another option that doesn't require shopping, or sweets.

Write a thank you card for someone. Mail it, drop it off on their doorstep, slip it into a lunchbox or tuck it under a pillow. You'll enjoy remembering how grateful you are to them, and they will be joyful to be recognized in an unexpected way.

I truly hope you enjoyed our day together. I look forward to touching base tomorrow.

I'm so grateful we are friends.

Hugs and happiness,

Nancy
