Well said! There was a very old book sort of dedicated to gratitude. It’s called Pollyanna, and I suppose some folks dissed it for a long time for its frivolous optimism. Still, I think it’s got some very good lessons. I always thought it might well be produced with Bible verse notes. If you pursue the topic further, you might want to check it out. Anyway, I thought this piece was lovely and well put together.

Thank you so much for reading and for your kind words!! I don't think I've ever heard of it before, and after a quick google search, I know I'll have to pick it up sometime, especially since it's considered a children's classic. It sounds lovely, so thank you so much for the recommendation. Happy Thanksgiving! x

absolutely! your post is such a great illustration of the real-life results of grateful living, so thank you for that and for your kind words. i am always blown away when i meditate on how the Lord has designed gratitude, laughter, and living without worry to literally bless our physical bodies and improve our quality of life on this side of eternity. i thought now would be a great time to explore at least one of those :') have a great thanksgiving week!
