Gratitude

Gratitude is a core value that we prioritize in our family. To cultivate this value, we have a daily practice where we take turns sharing something that we’re thankful for during dinner time. As November approaches, we write down these gratitudes on a small pumpkin.

​Come Thanksgiving, we present this gratitude pumpkin as a unique and thoughtful gift to our host. The best part? No vase required! It's a small gesture, but it's a meaningful way to show our appreciation for the blessings in our lives.
By actively practicing gratitude, we've noticed a shift in our family's mindset. It's become easier to focus on the positive, and we've become more mindful of the things we often take for granted. We believe that practicing gratitude not only brings joy and contentment to our daily lives, but it also strengthens our relationships with one another.
So if you're looking for a simple way to cultivate gratitude in your family, we highly recommend starting a gratitude practice. It doesn't have to be elaborate - just a daily practice of sharing something you're thankful for can make a big difference. And who knows, maybe it will inspire you to start your own gratitude pumpkin tradition!

Have you called your donors to share your gratitude?
​Not to make an ask, rather to share your impact, a testimonial or tell a quick story. Thank them for the support they’ve given and remembering your organization in the year ahead.
