Summary: Friday Gratitude Day creation was to inspire others to action. To create a ripple effect of "gratitude actions" that would manifest as "acts of kindness. Gratitude is not something that just something we have or give. Gratitude is also a response we create intentionally. There is a feeling of fulfillment by creating gratitude in others. On the surface, it often looks like an act of kindness. The simple act of opening a door for someone with arms that are full so they don't drop their packages is an everyday example. Another example is telling someone that words they shared with you years ago had a profound impact, and they most likely have no idea. How amazing would it be to tell them that their words resonated with you and had a profound impact? Even harsh words can result in you becoming a better or different you. Painful words result in learning and learning results in growth. So today, your call to action is to call or write to that person and let them know their words were meaningful, how they impacted you in a way that you are grateful. It is a moment they will never forget.
