November
Nights are growing longer and colder,
as the tapestry of the year is rolled up
waiting to be stored in the closet of memory.
Golden threads of gratitude
highlight the joy experienced
in each passing month.

Twenty Nineteen has been an interesting and stressful year, which means it is time to take inventory of the things you have to be thankful for. Can you think of, at least, one thing from each month that you are grateful for? Did someone share something with you that made you smile? Did you share something with someone else that made that person smile? Did you learn something new? Did you do something for the first time that you would like to do again? Is there something that you take for granted, that you would miss if you lost it?
Start your gratitude inventory by opening a document or opening your journal to a new page. At the top of the page write "Gratitude Inventory for 2019". Now begin your list with "I am grateful that in January of 2019 ...", and finish the sentence by writing something you are grateful for. After you finish the sentence or paragraph for January, go on to February. You write a sentence or paragraph for each month, so that when you finish this list in December you have twelve sentences or paragraphs listing your gratitude for the year.
If you cannot think of anything to list for January or February, reread your journal or blog entries for those months. Find something to be grateful for in each month, even if it is something as small as a cup of coffee with an old friend. Look at the routine or random events that happen each day, do they hold a clue to an event that goes on your gratitude inventory.

Excerpt: Their teacher was late. Ricky Doucette leaned back in his chair; his gaze fixed upon dust particles shimmering within a shaft of sunlight angling into the room— like billions of stars of a micro-cosmos, he mused. Ricky slipped deeper into supernal thought when another notion pervaded his mind. Why is Mr. Alvarez teaching this religion class, he wondered; a layman who doubles as the school's Spanish teacher when the faculty is filled with so many Marist Brothers?

A Christmas story where standing back and watching people can be surprising.

Excerpt: Streetlamps flickered on as I bent into the biting wind. Frigid tendrils wormed their way through the seams in my coat, chilling me to the bone. Thank God, The Coffee Mill's promised warmth beckoned just beyond bundled shoppers, desperate for the next afternoon's sale. When a car splashed through a puddle, soaking my feet in an icy shower, I plunged into the frantic human tide, drawing a hissed, "Damned old fool." Words intended to slice. They didn't. Decades had passed since I cared what anyone thought.
