What are you thankful for? Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude. This opportunity to reflect on what we are thankful for can help us seek greatness. Gratefulness can go hand in hand with humility because we are able to appreciate acts of kindness from others. However, this spirit of gratefulness doesn't have to end after today, we should constantly remind ourselves of all the blessings we have in our lives.

"We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude." -Cynthia Ozick
