Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received.

Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

INSPIRE

Henry Van Dyke

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.

William Arthur Ward

THANKFULNESS

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Melody Beattie

An attitude of gratitude goes a long way.

I am happy because I’m grateful. I choose to be grateful. That gratitude allows me to be happy.

Will Arnett

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Breathe. . . Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best. – Unknown This is excellent advice for this moment in 2020. For the last four weeks we have been ambushed by political ads.

As if life with COVID wasn’t enough, we have just lived through the most heated election in the history of our great nation. As our publication is being sent to print, the outcome of the presidential election is still undecided.

I want to say thank you to all of the Veterans who have served to make our country great. I hope each of you have a dynamic month and are able to share Thanksgiving with those you love.

Thank you for supporting the advertisers who make The Grand Season possible.

Happy Thanksgiving, Melissa McCullough Editor/Associate Publisher

SHARE YOUR TALENTS It’s the best way to change the world

“Giving Tuesday” is the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and is a global movement and day that celebrates and encourages giving back.

Giving Tuesday is a great reminder to write a check to your favorite nonprofit organization. But beyond money, when it comes to planning where and how you will spend your time and energy, let your strengths guide you to ways you can help the people and community around you.

Writing a check or volunteering your time with your favorite nonprofit organization is a great idea. If you have extra time or resources to give, however, consider these creative ways to put your strengths to work when giving back this year.

1. Animal whisperer? Consider fostering some furry friends from your local animal shelter.

2. Avid reader? Pass on a book that could change someone’s life. The right book could help someone start a business, improve a relationship or provide a confidence boost.

3. Love fitness? Sign up for a charitable walk or run and give to a cause you care about. Better yet, ask someone to workout with you and be a fitness mentor.

4. Is your thumb green? Lead a community garden project or teach kids how to care for flowers and plants.

5. Talented teacher? Talk to a local school about volunteering to be a tutor.

6. Love events? Donate your time and talents to a fundraising event for a worthy organization.

7. Connected? How could you use your network to help someone else? The right introduction could lead to a job prospect, an increase in revenue or a new friendship.

8. Enjoy children? Volunteer to watch your friend’s kids for an evening or host a slumber party for your kids and their friends.

9. Extra cash? Think about buying something for a stranger. Pick up the tab for the person behind you at the coffee shop or the tollbooth on the bridge.

10. Great cook? Volunteer your talents at a local soup kitchen.

Stay true to yourself by giving in the realms that make you the happiest. When you give back with your own talents, it doesn’t feel like work—it feels like an expression of who you are.

Don’t know your strengths? Want to learn more about yourself? Visit the Virginia Institute of Character and take their free 10-minute survey at VIAcharacter.org. www.grandseasonfamily.com

GIVE THANKS Carve a good mood groove

The holidays are a reminder to take inventory of all the blessings we have in our lives. Making gratitude a habit can have positive benefits to your own happiness, as well as those around you, by creating stronger bonds in your relationships, finding kindness in others and carving new “good mood” grooves into your brain. What’s more, these gratitude rituals are relatively simple to do and can be performed anywhere at any time.

Practice these rituals with your family:

1: Amazing Grace

The dinner table is a great place to reflect and reinforce our feelings of gratitude. Before you break bread, start at one end of the table and encourage every person to share something they are thankful for in their lives.

2: Focus on the Haves

Write down three positive things you are grateful for every night before you go to bed. Keeping a journal and a pen on the nightstand will serve as a reminder and help you establish this ritual.

3: The Write Stuff

Think of someone in your life who has made a significant positive impact and write a letter expressing how much that person means to you.

If possible, meet this person face-to-face and read the letter aloud.

4: Thankful Awareness

Try a new experience with the family and look for teachable moments, such as volunteering at a food bank or handing out gifts at a children’s hospital.

Sometimes, the best way to appreciate all of the good in our own world is to take a moment to bear witness to the situations of those who are suffering.
