You may have heard the saying, “Gratitude is the best attitude.” Gratitude is more than a passing “thank you;” it’s a heartfelt way to acknowledge someone and their good deed.

This month, in honor of Thanksgiving, I’m sending information that outlines nine ways to express gratitude to the people who have gone the extra mile to help us. Ideas include writing a note, giving them a small token of appreciation like flowers or their favorite treat, or publicly acknowledging and appreciating their good deed on social media. Gratitude is more than good manners; it’s a great way to improve your relationships with friends, colleagues and loved ones.

Thanksgiving is a time for friends, family, and – as its name implies – giving thanks. This year, as you go about your celebrations, remember to be thankful for all you have and enjoy the company of the people you care about the most.

This is an opportunity for us to see new and old friends, be thankful for those relationships, and to give back to those less fortunate than us. If you’d like to give back to the community, please consider donating a new, unwrapped toy to Toys for Tots. You can find out more at https://san-diego-ca.toysfortots.org/.
