Today is also the UN International Day of Peace, which I think integrates well with World Gratitude Day. Act justly, show and love mercy, walk humbly with the Divine, and be grateful for the Creator's Universe and steward it with love and peace. https://www.un.org/en/observances/international-day-peace

Amen to all that! For many years, I have worked in a focused way on being grateful even in the face of pain and disappointment. I once made a “gratitude coin” to give to friends and associates. On it is the famed quotation from Cicero: “Gratitude is not only the greatest of the virtues, but the parent of all others.” I am aware, by the way, that “parent” is a rather loose, politically correct translation of the original Latin, which was “mater,” or more accurately, “mother.”
