Gratitude

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I think gratitude should be in the spotlight.

I found this picture and I thought it would be a great for this post:

I would like to add that we should also be grateful for the challenges placed on our way.

You may ask why give thanks for challenges.
Without challenges, we cannot learn about our strengths.
Without challenges, we cannot appreciate the daily blessings.
Without challenges, we cannot learn empathy and support those around us who are struggling.

So, as we get ready to sit around the table to celebrate Thanksgiving by also making and sharing a lists of blessings, how about including our trials as well?
