Now that we’ve entered the month of November and thus are approaching Thanksgiving in the United States (It’s already been in Canada, and in Sweden we celebrate a day of gratitude the second Sunday in October), it seems like an opportune time to delve deeper into the practice of gratitude. Normally, I write down things that I’m grateful for once a week in a journal. But this can be expanded into areas, where each area can get their own attention and examples of appreciation.

So, the challenge is to write down 10 things you’re grateful for in 10 areas of your life! Areas can be:

• Health
• Family
• Home
• Work
• Friends
• Faith
• Past-time pursuits
• Finances
• Nature
• Knowledge

What we are grateful is of course individual, but it can be of things we have received, it can be meetings and what someone has said or done, what we feel we have and enjoy.

Take out your journal, or make lists on your computer! By all means, share it too. And remember, the more we’re sincerely grateful for, the more we’ll notice and receive.
