Can you believe that it is November already? As this month begins today, we are preparing for the end of 2024. The gathering season is set to begin. The thoughts of deciding whose house to host Thanksgiving. Thinking about a payment plan to buy gifts for the December holidays. Then, there comes reflection of the past year. For this month, the energy I want to present is one of being GRATEFUL. The energy in this country right now as we go into next week with the election will be rough once the results come in. But, I have so much to be GRATEFUL for.
This month is Native American Heritage Month. This is a group of people who had their homes invaded and taken from them hundreds of years ago. There are many situations such as this going on around the world today. I am GRATEFUL, to not have to worry about bombings happening outside of my front door. Then there is Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. With the cost of food and living right now in this country, many are struggling. Struggling to support themselves and to take care of their families. I complain about this cost, but I am GRATEFUL that I am not struggling in this area. Also, we have Veteran’s Day this month. It’s a day to honor those who have served our country in the military. I am GRATEFUL for their sacrifice because this country could not depend on me to serve.
So, for this November, may we all be GRATEFUL for the good that’s happening in our life. May we recognize the people in our lives who show up and may we show up for those who matter most. It is gathering season, so make spending time together a priority. Have a Sweet November!
