The Toad and I have started the new year with a daily gratitude practice that takes less than 10 seconds in the morning. Everyday in January we have answered a gratitude question that is posted on the fridge.  The questions are simple but draw our attention to something we are thankful for. Sometimes we answer the question the same and sometimes our different answers create a conversation or a shared laugh.

Examples of the questions we have answered include:

What song are you most grateful for?

What place are you most grateful for?

What about your body are you most thankful for?

What small thing do you use daily that you are grateful for?

These questions have brought a bit of lightness in a month that can often be dark and difficult.  As the month draws to a close, I am contemplating what our shared gratitude practice will look like in February!  All suggestions welcomed.
