Today is Thanksgiving in Canada. It is a great reminder to celebrate abundance and take some time for gratitude and acknowledgement. And despite those each being polysyllabic words, you can do this by inviting a simple and easy practice into your day.
Take a moment to answer these 3 easy questions.
- What is something you’re grateful for?
- What is something you’d like to acknowledge yourself for?
- What abundance would you like to celebrate?
What if you kept a little note of your answers for the rest of the month? Imagine! You’d end up with 20 celebrations, 20 gratitudes and 20 acknowledgements! If you’re in the US, what if you answered these questions each day until your Thanksgiving? How richly might this practice infuse that special day?
Let’s start with today. Here are my answers.
- I am grateful for being able to sit and have a family dinner in our kitchen.
- I acknowledge myself for all the hard work I’ve done in developing Soul Reflections (coming soon!)
- I would like to celebrate the abundance of having days upon days to spend with my sister who just recently returned home after a great visit.
Your turn!

1. I am grateful for the rain. We so desperately need it, and everything looks and smells so washed and new.
2. I acknowledge myself for mostly keeping my cool during the school-related stress of the past two weeks!

Thanks Jamie! I am so thankful I got to spend so much time with you too, what a real treat that was. I wrote about how grateful I am despite the dark days and difficult times since my return, that’s all I have energy for. But thanks for the reminder and hope you had a great day today!
