In 2019 I wrote a series of posts on gratitude.

This year I’m returning again to the truths I wrote in that series two years ago, such as:

Thanksgiving is a synonym of gratitude, and yet it is also made up of two words—thanks, giving—that offer a guide to the practice and growth of gratitude. Recognizing that for which we are thankful is one aspect of practicing gratitude. Giving to others as a result of that thankfulness is another aspect of gratitude.

Practicing gratitude means expressing thanks. Practicing gratitude also means giving.

– Gratitude and Growth

And…

Gratitude is the antidote to grumpiness.

– Gratitude and Grumpiness
