November 20, 2022 Talk Title: The Subversive practice of Giving ThanksIf you had a “way of being” in life, how would you define it? We’ll explore how the attitude and habits of gratitude can create deeper connection and fulfillment in life.November Theme: Radical GratitudeKathianne Lewis, Spiritual Director writes:Gratitude is like a pair of really good sunglasses; not just a pair that looks good, but ones that block glare and help you see better without having to squint.I learned about the difference a good pair of sunglasses can make when I bought a pair designed to block glare. Now I can be outside for long periods of time and not get headaches!Gratitude is like that. I can “look like I’m a grateful person” by saying thank you and giving complements, or I can choose to BE a GRATEFUL person and see everything through the lens of Gratitude. This can be hard at first, not having to squint real hard to see the good in a thing; but the choice to Be Grateful tend to eliminates the glaring error of people, places and things.How do you choose Gratitude? That’s the topic for the November talks.
