As the holiday season draws near, are you in a panic doing everything to provide a perfect Christmas this year? You have good intentions to make this Christmas extra special, but you're worn out from the overwhelm - feeling pressured to do more, trying to fit everything in, or exceeding every expectation.

Gratitude is easy when we have all the warm, feel-good moments that surround the holidays and when the driver ahead pays for your chai tea latte in the Second Cup drive thru, but what about the rest of the year? Gratitude is more than just a fleeting feeling of thankfulness, it’s an intentional shift in perspective, a heart posture that can transform the mundane into meaningful, the chaos into calm, and the overwhelmed into overjoyed.
