Lots of thoughts come to mind when we think of the month of November. But at the top of most lists will be Thanksgiving. Close your eyes and you can conjure up family, good food, and holiday traditions. "Gratitude Soup" by Olivia Rosewood, our November Book of the Month, fits right in!
Research shows that whether you write weekly in a gratitude journal or share your gratitude in other ways, the benefits are many. Better health, less anxiety, higher levels of optimism, and sounder sleep are reported. Certainly a worthwhile reason to share this book with everyone!
You will notice that the writing style has changed in this Book of the Month. That's another great class topic or discussion. Was it effective? Why? I am not sure why but I can almost smell the soup cooking!
Before reading this wonderful book, think about gratitude. Have everyone take some quiet time to think of the may things they are grateful for; both big and small. After sharing the story, make your own class gratitude soup. Enjoy the delicious aroma and wonderful feelings a great pot of soup gives us all!
Gratefully Yours
