If you see my books, you’ll notice many corners folded over tagging things I need to do or focus on, but mostly it’s quotes and words that made me feel something. I know I’ve mentioned it before, but something about showing gratitude this season has really stuck with me. I think it’s what my holidays will be about this year, which is why when I come back from vacation I decided to volunteer as a Salvation Army bell-ringer, donate holiday decorations, and teach children how to decorate gingerbread men. I remember the winter was about fundraising and giving our time to food banks and other organizations when I was in college, because it was a time that many people needed help. Even if it’s leaving your mail deliverer some fresh-baked cookies, or running a toy drive, remember that gratitude is a wonderful thing.
