Last week I finished reading researcher and author Brené Brown’s book, Daring Greatly, and among so many things, I’m inspired to be more intentional with my gratitude. Her quote below really struck me, and made me realize that I for one, I have a lot to be thankful for, and two, I don’t need to feel guilty for expressing it! What better month to aim for a daily gratitude practice than November?
“Don’t take what you have for granted–celebrate it. Don’t apologize for what you have. Be grateful for it and share your gratitude with others.” -Brené Brown
So every evening I’m reflecting on the day, and sharing something I’m grateful for; silly or serious, big or small, and since we’re mostly about travel and the outdoors here, I’m calling it Adventures in Gratitude! You can keep up with my gratitude practice on our instagram page (#WildAdventuresinGratitude), but today I thought I’d share the journey so far. Here are the past 7 days of our Wild Adventures in Gratitude:
Day 1:
Walks to school! Fresh air and a stretch of the legs is a great way to start the day & allows us to really experience and appreciate our natural world (even in the rain)
