Gratitude – the quality of being thankful. World Gratitude Day is celebrated on September 21st.  First, give thanks for your life, imperfections and all. Celebrate where you are planted at this moment.

World Gratitude Day was first celebrated 1965. Let’s keep this tradition going by showing appreciation for things big and small. Below are 3 tips for celebrating this world holiday.
.
1.      Be thankful for your community – show gratitude where ever you go on this day. Extend a special thanks to community workers – mail carrier, cashier at a store, server at a restaurant.

2.      Write a note of thanks – reach out to someone you haven’t talked to in a while; send a card or short note just saying, “thinking of you.”

3.      Start a gratitude journal – this could also be in the form of a gratitude jar. Write one thing each day that you are thankful for, it can be big or small. You will begin to appreciate the little things that we don’t take time to enjoy.

What tips do you have for celebrating World Gratitude Day? Go out and brighten someone’s day with your smile.
