World Gratitude Day
World Gratitude Day is
a day to give thanks and to express thankfulness to your family, friends, acquaintances,
and strangers. This day is different than Thanksgiving although this day began
at a Thanksgiving dinner in a meditation room. In 1965 Sri Chinmoy who was a
meditation teacher and a spiritual leader started World Gratitude Day. Sri
Chinmoy gave peace meditation sessions at the United Nations and recommended
the World Gratitude Day as a holiday to be celebrated every year. Since 1966, World
Gratitude Day is celebrated every year on September 21st.
World Gratitude Day can
be spent by making thank you cards and sending cards to people to show your
appreciation for them. Also, this day can be used to demonstrate to your
children the importance of saying and giving thanks to everyone. You can look
up gratitude quotes and write them down as a reminder to show how grateful you
are. Use refrigerator magnets and hang gratitude quotes to remember to say
thank you. You can have a meal together as a family and read your favorite
gratitude quote.
Listen to thank you
music to express your feelings of appreciation. Make a thank you gift for a
teacher or for your co-workers. Take your time in doing acts of kindness on
this day and every day of the year. Show your thankfulness by writing a note, a
tag, or a small gift that says thank you for what you do. Take turns in doing
the cleaning chores in your home or at work.
Frame a thank you note
and display it in your office desk to remind you how much your work is valued. Offer
to help someone by looking for an item at store and thank them for the gesture.
Smile, compliment, and say thank you whenever someone does something nice for
you or for others. Practice gratitude meditation, write in a thank you journal,
and learn more to be grateful. Here are more resources about celebrating World
