Gratitude Pumpkin!

Everyone goes through a tough time, and sometimes we forget to appreciate the small things that people do for us or the small things we do for ourselves. This is why I like to do the Gratitude Pumpkin. I get a pumpkin, write everything that I appreciate about that person on it, and send it to them. Sometimes we just need that reminder.

I make one for each of my family members, and yes, I am closer to some than others, but it doesn’t mean I appreciate them less. Each person who has come into my life has shaped who I am today, whether it was teaching me patience, helping me find my voice, or simply offering a smile, a good morning, or a heart. No matter what, I am grateful that they made that impact. Along with my family members, I make one for my friends and coworkers as well. I write on a small pumpkin, add a tag with their names, and place them in a small box to give to them. I hope you make one at least for yourself. I know we can be hard on ourselves and forget that we are only human, and evenour flaws, that is what makes us who we are, though we have and we should appreciate ourselves a lot more.

Cozy Cuddles!
