Hello, everyone. I’m Melody Westmoreland, Senior Account Supervisor with Integrity Adjusters.

As we approach Thanksgiving during a time when there is so much strife and conflict in the world, it can be challenging to find reasons to be thankful. But today, we're going to explore three simple ways to cultivate a sense of gratitude even during a world crisis.

First, take a moment each day to reflect. Consider keeping a gratitude journal. Write down three things you're thankful for. They don't have to be grand – it could be something as simple as the warmth of the sun.

Second, during challenging times, it's vital to lean on our support networks. Reach out to friends and family and express your appreciation for their presence in your life. Sharing gratitude can create a ripple effect, spreading positivity.

Third, practice kindness. Small acts of kindness not only help others, but they also bring a sense of fulfillment. Whether it's volunteering, supporting local charities, or just checking in on a neighbor. These actions contribute to a collective sense of gratitude and community.

Remember, gratitude is not about ignoring the challenges; it's about finding strength in the midst of them. So, let's make a conscious effort to be thankful during these trying times.

Reflect, connect, and spread kindness.
