I’ve shared over and over again the ways in which our family is striving to be intentional about the practice of gratitude. The darkness and haunting uncertainty of the world around us makes me cling to this commitment even more tightly. For those of you who have been tracking with me for a while, you likely already know about my favorite fall family tradition – the thankfulness pumpkin. Every fall, we implement the nightly ritual of each family member (and guests when they’re with us!) choosing one specific item of gratitude to have written on our little pumpkin. The goal is to choose something different every night, which is getting even more fun as our kids get older. Somehow, remembering the sweet moments and little gifts that fill our days gives me hope amidst the chaos that swirls around us.
