When it feels like the world is crumbling, gratitude can anchor us to hope and perspective. Here are some things to be thankful for, this holiday season:
- The People Who Care
Those who stand by us—friends, family, or even kind strangers—remind us we’re not alone. - The Strength to Keep Going
Resilience is one of humanity’s most miraculous traits. And it grows with every step forward. Be grateful for the strength you’ve shown so far. - The Small Comforts
Gratitude lives in the little things. Whether it’s your favorite song or a sunny day—tiny joys can recharge our spirit. - The Lessons in Struggle
Lessons are repeated until learned. And pain and chaos teach us mental toughness, compassion, and priorities. We are always becoming. And there is no growth without resistance. - Moments of Peace
However fleeting, moments of stillness—deep breaths and quiet sunsets—are worth treasuring. - The Chance to Begin Again
There’s a reason the saying, “Tomorrow is another day,” has endured. Each day, we get another shot to make things a little better—for ourselves and others.
As you celebrate Thanksgiving, remember: Gratitude doesn’t erase hardship. It helps us find meaning and courage in the turmoil. Circle your holiday table with the “What I’m thankful for,” exercise. That, alone, reminds us how lucky we are.
