Week #272 – Keep Counting!  (33 Days of Gratitude Starts Now!)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greetings Tribe — and Happy Holidays!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanksgiving may be “over”…but there is no reason to let the gratitude stop!  November is known as “Gratitude Month”…but for the past few years I’ve proposed we keep it going:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this year is no different.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because after our single biggest day of giving thanks — we turn and face the most commercial season of the year.  It’s no secret that retailers thrive on feelings of lack to drive their profits.  And as many of us are trying desperately to simplify the holidays — retailers seem to scream even louder to get our attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns what many desire to be a season of happiness and contentment into a season of lack and comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, I wanted to repeat my challenge once again this year…to continue giving thanks into December and give ourselves the gift of gratitude this holiday season!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(This idea was born out of my own lack of gratitude three years ago.  You can read about it on Week #115<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here it is!  A very simple, one-page calendar<\/a> that you (or your kids) can hang on your wall or refrigerator and fill in each day — and a challenge to Count Your Blessings for 33 days straight!  (Which will take you right up to New Year’s Eve!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think you can do it?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
