Celebrate November by Taking the Sharing Thanks #TurkeyThanks Gratitude Challenge!

That's not a turkey it's a ROOSTER! 

TAKE THE TURKEY THANKS NOVEMBER GRATITUDE CHALLENGE!


Start November by learning to cultivate a grateful heart ready to bloom just in time for Thanksgiving! Gratitude is a heart muscle that can be flexed by the simple act of listing what your grateful for each day. Sharing what we are grateful can inspire others to think about gratitude in a different way! It's easy to participate in this challenge. Here are a few different ways you can start!
  1. Share what your thankful for in the comments of my blog Sharing Thanks! Everyday in November I will be giving you a new idea on "How to be grateful" and posting what I am thankful for. Or you can email me at sharingthanks@gmail.com! Or email me a picture of something your grateful for! I will share your gratitude in a post!
  2. Like my facebook page by clicking the button on the side of the blog or going to http://www.facebook.com/sharingthanksblogspot. You can post a picture or in words tell me what your grateful for each day!
  3. If Turkeys could they would Tweet on Twitter! You can follow me on Twitter @SharingThanks. Tweet what your grateful for or share a picture of what your thankful for using the #TurkeyThanks hashtag!
  4. Todays's #TurkeyThanks prompt is Why are you grateful for a rainy day? Tell me something your thankful for on a rainy day. Today on Long Island it is pouring. It is a cold rainy day, a day you probably want to stay inside. I was grateful to see the movie, "The Judge." Robert Downey Jr, and Robert Duval give amazing performances in this movie that makes us think about the law and what the right consequences are for our actions.
I am looking forward to helping you start your gratitude juices flowing. Seeing with grateful eyes will help you be happier! Looking forward to hearing your gratitude stories.

Create a Sharing Thanks Journal with someone to cultivate a Grateful Heart

    I am very thankful for this very special Christmas gift given to me by my daughter Liz. She made me a Sharing Thanks Journal. I love her heart design and the picture of us she printed to adorn the inside of this very special journal. The best gift of all was that we used the journal together to practice gratitude. She wrote the first entry listing four things she was thankful for and passed the journal back to me. We use the journal to share what we are thankful for. It has helped me practice gratitude and has helped me and my daughter connect on a deeper level. It is wonderful to have a dialogue where we share our blessings. I love writing my thanks and sharing what brings me joy. It could be a beautiful sunset, or a kind smile a stranger gave me. I love learning about what my daughter is thankful for. I recommend sharing a journal with someone special to help your gratitude practice. It will allow you to focus on counting your joys and help you connect to someone in a lo

Thankful for Chihuly's impressionistic water reflections at New York Botanical Gardens

I love sharing beautiful spaces with fellow friends who appreciate the impact of art fused with nature. So thankful to my friend Liz who invited me to go see the current Chihuly exhibit at the New York Botanical Gardens. I loved how Chihuly's pieces enhanced the beauty of the main greenhouse exhibits. We were blessed with a crisp fall day with blue skies. I took this video to capture the wave of colors undulating that looked like painter's brush strokes in the water. Below is the glass work that made these beautiful reflections. If you live in the New York area I recommend you go to the New York Botanical Gardens to enjoy this artist's brilliant work. The NYBG also has some fun fall displays. My friend and I enjoyed posing with pumpkin man. Below are a few more pictures from the greenhouse that illustrate how well this artist's work merges with nature. Hope you are enjoying this autumn season. Please share a fall activity that your thankful for! If
