As we prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday here in the United States – and move toward another full moon phase, I can’t help but think of the impact that gratitude has when we embrace it wholeheartedly.

 

Can you imagine a world where everyone showed gratitude?

 

If someone did something kind for you, you’d probably give them a warm smile and say thank you. And if you were having a bad day, someone else might take time out of his or her life to comfort you, making you feel better.

 

It’s these acts of kindness that prompt people to show their gratitude by doing something similar for someone else.

 

Like a skipping stone in a pond, acts of gratitude have the potential to create a ripple effect.
